ISBN: 9781845112370 出版年：2012 页码：193 Laura Brandon Bloomsbury Publishing

This is a truly encyclopedic survey of artists' responses - both 'official' and personal - to 'the horrors of war'. "Art and War" reveals the sheer diversity of artists' portrayals of this most devastating aspect of the human condition - from the 'heroic' paintings of Benjamin West aSargent to brutal and iconic works by artists from Goya to Picasso, and the equally oppositional work Nancy Spero and others who reacted wiVietnam War. Laura Brandon pays particular attention to work produced in response to World War I and World War II, as well as art and memorial work by artists as diverse as Barbara Kruger, Alfredo Jarr and Maya Lin. She looks finally to the reactions of contemporary artists such as Langlands aUS invasion in 2001 of Afghanistan and the 'War on Terror'.
