The Great War set in motion all of the subsequent violence of the
twentieth century. The war took millions of lives, led to the fall
of four empires, established new nations, and negatively affected
others. During and after the war, individuals and communities
struggled to find expression for their wartime encounters and
communal as well as individual mourning. Throughout this time of
enormous upheaval, many artists redefined their role in society,
among them writers, performers, painters, and composers. Some
sought to renew or re-establish their place in the postwar climate,
while others longed for an irretrievable past, and still others
tried to break with the past entirely. This volume offers a
significant interdisciplinary contribution to the study of modern
war, exploring the ways that artists contributed to wartime culture
- both representing and shaping it - as well as the ways in which
wartime culture influenced artistic expressions. Artists' places
within and against reconstruction efforts illuminate the struggles
of the day. The essays included represent a transnational
perspective and seek to examine how artists dealt with the
experience of conflict and mourning and their role in
(re-)establishing creative practices in the changing climate of the
interwar years.
