Overview

War in Art. From War Propaganda to Artists' Activism Art Subjects and Themes of War through the Masterpieces of Art History From the Standard of Ur to Banksy's murals, passing through Goya's engravings, this book explores how artists have narrated, denounced, and transformed war into images. Through forty-four key works, it retraces the representation of conflict from the dawn of civilization to the contemporary age, showing how each era has reinterpreted violence according to its own moral, political, and spiritual values.
