The Canadian War Museum possesses one of the finest
twentieth-century official war art collections in the world. Until
relatively recently, however, the collection has received limited
public attention. In Art or Memorial?, author Laura Brandon
explores some of the reasons why this may have been the case. At
various times throughout its history, the war art collection has
receded from and re-emerged in the nation's collective
consciousness. Nevertheless, as an invaluable part of the official
record of war in Canada, it is profoundly significant. Brandon
argues that the value of the collection lies less in its artistic
merit and more in its role as a site of memory. Art or Memorial?
seeks to illuminate Canadian war art's sometimes-hidden presence in
the nation's memory and to show, through both its presence and its
absence, how it helped to shape, and will continue to influence,
how we remember as a nation.
