Remembrance Day – the art of war


Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson, Dog Tired (c.1916)

Every year, two minutes of silence fall on the commonwealth and beyond to mark the signing of the Armistice on the 11th November 1918. While some argue that Remembrance Day has become a symbol of conformity, or ‘just show business’ as the last survivor of the First World War Harry Patch described it, nevertheless, it is an opportunity for the world to reflect on the horrors of war, and remember the glorious dead.  To mark this occasion, we have produced a range of collections, from those works documenting the atrocities on the frontline, to posters produced to rouse the masses in difficult times.
