Laughter and Loss: British Artists in World War Two
James RussellThursday 19 March
Explore the remarkable achievements of Britain’s official war artists with a lecturer who has curated major exhibitions on two of them: Eric Ravilious (1903-42) and Edward Bawden (1903-89).When Kenneth Clark set up the War Artists scheme in 1939, he hoped to employ British artists and keep them safe. In this wide-ranging lecture we follow the fortunes of those chosen, from Eric Ravilious, Edward Bawden and Edward Ardizzone to Laura Knight, Stanley Spencer and Graham Sutherland. We will see how the experience of war inspired different artists, examine some of the striking artworks created during the conflict, and commemorate the lives of those who did not come home.
