That Two Thousand Yard Stare | Thomas Lea | 1944

"That Two Thousand Yard Stare" by Thomas Lea (1944) is a powerful wartime painting depicting the haunting psychological toll of war. The central figure is a battle-worn soldier with wide, hollow eyes that seem to look beyond the viewer, symbolizing trauma and detachment. Set amidst a chaotic battlefield with smoldering mountains, tanks, and planes overhead, the scene conveys the devastating reality of combat. Surrounding him, other soldiers and equipment emphasize the collective strain of war, while his expression captures the individual experience of profound exhaustion and emotional numbness. The piece is a poignant representation of the cost of war on the human spirit.
