Abstract

When the 1889 Military Law was passed, it established three-year universal conscriptionand a greater army of citizens to boost military preparedness for war in French coloniesand against Germany. Far from its ramifications being of no concern to neo-impressionists, it was the subject of bightingly bitter antimilitarist cartoons byMaximilien Luce and antimilitarist paintings by the neo-impressionist outsider, 'Ledouanier' Rousseau. Far from picturing the patriotic honor of becoming a soldier and thevictories of war, as did Edouard Detaille, Rousseau did the opposite. In the heat ofmilitary slaughter of families at Fourmies, Rousseau revealed how conscription wouldtransform French citizens into le corps militaire to fight not just against their arch-enemy with machine-like precision but against their very own people
