Curator Tour: Art of the First World War
‘The Territorials at Pozières’, by William Barnes Wollen, 1917
Join art curator Anna Lavelle as she explores some of the fascinating artwork on display at the National Army Museum.
The First World War (1914-18) provided artists with a rich and complex source of inspiration. Some artists, such as those in the Artists’ Rifles, witnessed combat first-hand by fighting on the front lines.
On this guided tour, art curator Anna Lavelle will examine various First World War artworks. These depictions range from vivid battle scenes, such as those painted by William Barnes Wollen, to poignant reflections of soldiers’ homecoming.
This tour will last approximately one hour.
