Book Description
By the end of the First World War the Imperial War Museum held the most important collection of contemporary British art in the country. Augmented by subsequent war artist schemes, the collection now offers an insight into twentieth century warfare both on the front line and at home. This catalogue reveals all the oil paintings – 1,870 in total. This includes important works of modern British art by artists such as Knight, the Nashes, Nevinson, Orpen, Sargent and Spencer, alongside more recent acquisitions.
