SUMMARY:Artist Soldiers: Artistic Expression in the First World War
LOCATION:274
DESCRIPTION:The grinding, mechanized nature of World War I, the first global war that i
nvolved millions of infantry combatants, has tended to render these soldier
s in popular culture as faceless masses rather than individual participants
with their own unique stories. In an effort surface the individual of WWI,
Artist Soldiers: Artistic Expression in the First World War features 54 ar
tworks produced by the AEF artist program, the first true combat artists, w
ith 29 art photographs of stone carvings created by soldiers in underground
living spaces adjacent to the trenches. These spaces were abandoned stone
quarries that soldiers on all sides used, a largely unknown aspect of the w
ar, even by WWI specialists. A selection of related artifacts is included t
o support the content of the art. The AEF artwork has not been extensively
displayed since the 1920s. Images of the soldiers’ stone carvings have neve
r been shown in a major museum exhibition.\nFor more information, please vi
