The Art of War

This exhibit features work from, Albrecht Altdorfer, Nabil Kanso, Theodore Gericault, Pablo Picasso, Edouard Detaille, Edward Jeffrey Irving, William Orpen, George Edmund Butler, Julian Scott, and John Singer Sargent. This show is about understand the effects of war not only on the soldiers themselves but also the civilians in the war zone and the women and children back home. The works displayed each feature an emotion connected to the trauma of war. I chose these artists by going through each major war and finding battles that were fought, next I looked for artists that displayed those scenes.
