Publisher's Synopsis

This text presents a survey of artists' responses - both 'official' & personal - to 'the horrors of war'. It reveals the diversity of artists' portrayals of this most devastating aspect of the human condition, from the 'heroic' paintings of Benjamin West & John Singer Sargent to brutal & iconic works by artists from Goya to Picasso.
