Author Author of the book upon which the photograph appears Dayan, Yael Photograph Title Title of photograph after: Widower 1914 Book Genre Novel Photo Genre Genre of Photograph Portraiture Photographer Photographer Sander, August Designer Designer of book cover Glaser, Milton Notes Notes associated with the item For the cover of Yael Dayan's fourth book, 'Death Had Two Sons', the legendary designer and illustrator Milton Glaser has drawn a loosely interpretive facsimile of 'Widower 1914', one of the best known portraits from August Sander's landmark publication, 'Menschen Des 20.Jahrhunderts'. As psychologically complex as it is visually straightforward, 'Widower' depicts a middle-class, middle-aged German man and, presumably, his two sons. In contrast to their father's orotund physique, both boys are thin, forlorn and pale to the point of anemia. In Sander's photograph, the man is looking toward the taller boy, while the other, ignored, turns his hopeless gaze to the camera. The image is a good choice for Dayan's novel, which tells the story of a man forced by the Nazis to choose the life of one of his sons over the other. Glaser has taken artistic license, however, by making the father thinner and more of an aristocrat. Additionally, and more important, the subtleties of interaction and expression are lost, and the personalities of all three individuals have virtually disappeared. In reducing the specificity of the photograph, Glaser's drawing has also taken away much of its life.
