This exhibition formed part of an ongoing series of exhibition organised by the Imperial War Museum devoted to the work of individual artists during the Second World War. The aim of these exhibitions was to reassemble the majority of an artist's output as an official war artist and contextualise it with examples of pre- and post-war painting, as well as other work that an artist may have done outside the official scheme. The exhibiton was selected by David Fraser Jenkins, who also contributed an essay to the accompanying publication. ISBN 0 85667 529 0 and 0 85667 534 2

Glossary

  • Painting

    Work of art made with paint on a surface. Often the surface, also called a support, is a tightly stretched piece of canvas, paper or a wooden panel. Painting involves a wide range of techniques and materials, along with the artist's intellectual concerns effecting the content of a work.
