This sumptuously illustrated volume, edited by eminent war
historian Joanna Bourke, offers a comprehensive visual, cultural
and historical account of the ways in which armed conflict has been
represented in art. Covering the last two centuries, the book shows
how the artistic portrayal of war has changed, from a celebration
of heroic exploits to a more modern, truthful depiction of warfare
and its consequences. Featuring illustrations by artists including
Paul Nash, Judy Chicago, Pablo Picasso, Melanie Friend, Francis
Bacon, Kathe Kollwitz, Yves Klein, Robert Rauschenberg, Dora
Meeson, Otto Dix and many others, as well as those who are often
overlooked, such as children, women, non-European artists and
prisoners of war, this extensive survey is a fitting and timely
contribution to the understanding, memory and commemoration of war,
and will appeal to a wide audience interested in warfare, art,
history or politics. Introduction by Joanna Bourke, with essays by
Jon Bird, Monica Bohm-Duchen, Joanna Bourke, Grace Brockington,
James Chapman, Michael Corris, Patrick Crogan, Jo Fox, Paul Gough,
Gary Haines, Clare Makepeace, Sue Malvern, Sergiusz Michalski,
Manon Pignot, Anna Pilkington, Nicholas J. Saunders, John
Schofield, John D. Szostak, Sarah Wilson and Jay Winter.
