Exploring the impact of World War One on British, German and French art
Aftermath shows how the Great War was remembered in public memorials by Charles Sargeant Jagger and others, and how its destructive impact was made visible in Henry Tonks’s medical portraits of wounded soldiers.Art was used for a variety of purposes in the tumultuous period after the end of World War One, from the social critiques of Otto Dix and George Grosz, to the birth of dada and surrealism. As well as the physical and psychological scars left on Europe, the exhibition also looks at how post-war society began to rebuild itself, inspiring some artists to return to classicism and tradition, and others to produce utopian visions of the future.
