About The Event
Artists and political cartoonists responded to the horrors of World War I with grief, fury and dismay. While some served at the Front, others used their art to mock the insanity of war, pillory its instigators and mourn the death and destruction it wrought. Dr. Jan Schall, Sanders Sosland Curator, Modern Art at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, explores political cartoonists Louis Raemaekers and Gustave Wendt and artists Hugo Ball, Otto Dix, Marsden Hartley, Käthe Kollwitz, Andre Masson and Georges Rouault in an engaging presentation in the Edward Jones Research Center.
