Why It Matters

Military and mortality imagery represents the more overtly political and somber side of Faile's collage vocabulary. The (II) iteration marks a developed motif, and the varied edition of 12 ensures each sheet is individually worked. It offers a counterweight to the studio's romance-driven output within the same 2007 period.

Collector Perspective

Collectors drawn to Faile's darker, conflict-themed work will find this a pointed acquisition. The watercolor-paper support and varied-edition format mean examples differ, so document the specific variation within the run of 12. Confirm signature, stamp, and numbering, and inspect the sheet for condition given its hand-worked surface.

Historical Context

Faile has periodically engaged themes of violence, death, and conflict alongside its romance and religious motifs. Produced in 2007, Military Death channels the mortality strand of the studio's practice, drawing on the same appropriated graphic sources but turning them toward war and loss rather than love.
