art
Art had changed dramatically after the war. Artists
started experimenting with new forms of art. Artists had started to shift from
the Victorian, realistic views they had once known to more modern, abstract and
depressed ideas. Artists such as John Singer Sargent, Wyndham Lewis, and Alfred
Munnings. most paintings at the time were depictions of the war. other painters
made abstract drawing of the subconscious mind. the idea of the mind came from
sigmund frued who belieived that people were driven not by what they thought but
by what their mind wanted them to do. another painter named jonathan nash
beleived that artists had to train themselves to work in sympathy with what they
saw. his most celabrated painting was "over the top". this painting is now on
display in London at the Imperial War Museum. Arthur Streeton was a
austrailian offical war artist who served in the "second division". he brought
sensibility to his paintings such as Amiens "The Key Of The West." it was a
subtle image of a smoking battlefield and was also his most famous
painting.
