The Art of Witnessing War

Starting with WW1, the lecture looks at how the work of artists such as Paul Nash, C.R.W. Nevinson and Stanley Spencer came to be seen as authentic visions of the actuality of the war. It will then consider the iconic status of works such as Picasso’s Guernica (1937) and the role of war photographers and contemporary issues about giving visual witness to war and conflict. Followed by Q and A session.
