Talk: The Artist as Reporter – British War Artists and the First World War

December 3, 2014 @ 1:10 pm - 2:00 pm

Join Jo Walton, NADFAS approved lecturer, who will explore the lives and work of a group of young, avant-garde British artists such as C.R.W. Nevinson, Paul Nash, Percy Wyndham Lewis  and Stanley Spencer, considering the ways in which these artists recorded their own experiences of the First World War.

Artists were recording their impressions in remarkable paintings, drawings and sculpture as well as creating posters, cartoons and even inventing camouflage. The lecture will discuss how artists were involved in the War in many different ways whilst also considering what happened to the young artists when Peace was finally declared.
