Manhunt 1941*

I.B. Rad

Hanging on my wall,
its’ title penciled,
“Manhunt 1941,”
a small lithograph
depicts 3 Nazi soldiers,
with several hounds,
pushing through
a wintry woods,
its oppressive mood abetted
by casting its bleak perspective
in shades of blue.
In the foreground,
nicely contrasting
with solid figures
of hounds, trees, and soldiers,
tall leafless vegetation
is drawn with fine point
lending unexpected delicacy
and even beauty
to that chilling scene.
And, at times,
when I review
those implacable troops
slogging through the snow
I shiver
at their four years more
before it’s game over
- unless some Hitler hits “Replay!”

* George Ivers (1922 - 2001), creator of “Manhunt 1941”, was born in Poland. As a member of the Polish division of the French army, he was captured by the Germans and was a prisoner of war on 3 separate occasions, escaping each time (perhaps giving him a special affinity for this subject matter.) Later, he immigrated to the United States. His works appear in many collections such as the Brooklyn Museum, the Jewish Museum, the New Jersey State Museum, and even the white House and the Vatican.
