How has war influenced art? (exploring period between 1915-1950)
5 quotes:
'Art and verse writing were no longer innocent activities in a world devastated by the barbarity of a terrible war; Dada embodied a new generation of artists and a radically new type of art, whose revolutionary nature in such context inevitably had to be seen not just as an aesthetic stance, but as a political one as well.' Marc Dachy - 'DADA. The revolt of art'
'The field of war art is immense and worldwide, somewhat akin to religion in the way war inspires people to create in order to understand' Laura Brandon - 'Art and War'
'Post-revolutionary Russia witnessed a burst of innovation in art and architecture as the country’s artists formed a new visual language with which to interpret and promote the new world of Soviet Socialism' Rakesh Ramchurn
"I often asked my father why he worked so much . He would tell me, 'I want to reclaim all that time that I've lost. Those years took all of my ideas, works and memories from me. Thats why I have to make the most of the remaining years of my life"'...it was rare for his father to work with colours after he returned from prison: "He worked almost exclusively in black and white. Maybe he felt like he didn't have enough time to master the use of colour"
Jean Patterson writing about Alakbar Rzaguliyev, an innocent man imprisoned 3 times under the repressions of Stalin
