Programme 10: World War I

Programme Outline

Artists’ responses to World War I were varied: William Orpen painted harrowing images of the trenches, while Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, who died during the conflict, created more symbolic images. Max Beckmann records the uneasy peace that existed in Germany after the Armistice.
