1914-18 war - Art of the First World War

Under the
patronage
of UNESCO

From the 1914-18 war to the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Armistice of 11th November 1918.

An exhibition of 110 paintings brought together by the major history museums of Europe.

World War I as seen by 54 painters on both sides.

The artists and their work are brought into context in a detailed presentation of the works by art historian and exhibition curator Philippe Dagen.

The war gave rise to the most lively and surprising emotions and artistic reactions to patriotic feeling, to the emerging new technologies, and most of all to the horror of the first experience of modern warfare...
