Huisraden worden door soldaten op straat gegooid 1920

Mihály Biró made this print, titled 'Huisraden worden door soldaten op straat gegooid', using an unknown medium, but it is likely some kind of lithograph. This image depicts soldiers throwing furniture out of windows into the street below. It's difficult to date it precisely, but the scene suggests a moment of social upheaval, likely in Europe. Biró was Hungarian, and very interested in social and political subjects. Consider the image’s visual language: the dynamic composition, the chaotic scene, the faceless figures all speak to a time of conflict and displacement. Was he documenting a specific historical event, or making a more general comment on the abuse of power? To understand this print fully, one might research the historical context of early 20th-century Europe, particularly the social and political movements in Hungary and further afield, as well as Biró's involvement in these. The art is contingent on these social and institutional contexts.
