An encyclopedic survey of artists' responses - both 'official' and personal - to 'the horrors of war'. This work reveals the diversity of artists' portrayals of this most devastating aspect of the human condition - from the 'heroic' paintings of Benjamin West and John Singer Sargent to brutal and iconic works by artists from Goya to Picasso.

The Canadian War Museum's art collection is one of the finest in the world and the single largest repository of official war art in Canada. This title takes readers into a time and place, enabling a deeper understanding of the artists, their compelling, often disturbing, but always profound images.
