Illustrated Book - Vision of war: art of the Imperial War Museums
The Imperial War Museum (IWM) holds one of the most significant collections of British art anywhere in the world. Claire Brenard, art curator at the IWM for more than a decade, charts the engagement between artists and conflict since 1914 in this richly illustrated book. Everyone from Great War artists such as William Orpen, who painted the haunting To the Unknown British Soldier in France, to contemporary artists such as Steve McQueen is included in this authoritative guide to modern war art, as well as a number of previously unseen works.
