Publisher's Synopsis
The Art of War is published to accompany the SBS television series of the same name, to be screened in April. In this stunningly illustrated book, leading art historian Betty Churcher explores the range and diversity of art inspired by war. Featuring images as diverse as George Lambert's dramatic battlefied panoramas, Will Dyson's political cartoons, Ray Parkin's prisoner-of-war camp sketches and Gordon Bennett's graffiti-influenced works produced in the wake of the September 11 attacks, Churcher shows that where war has influenced movements in art, art has also changed attitudes to war.
