Description: Survival is a vital part of humankind’s DNA and warfare has sadly become part of that. Indulged in, repudiated, described, depicted - this is a non-morbid look at how war has affected art through the centuries. Displaying power, victory, land, military portraits, posters, cartoons and caricatures. European and British painting around the year 1914. Morality of war, post WW1 to the present, memorials, gardens and peace.
