War and Art goes hand in hand There are many forms of art. You cannot defy art inside some certain boundaries. Artists use the canvas to express their feelings, their expressions, and their imaginations. There is no fixed perimeter for a human being’s mind to explore. It can reach the heights of the sky or the dive far beneath the ocean waters. It can fly away to ancient times when we used to live in caves or to the future world where flying cars is a common sight. An artist’s paintings can depict the wrath of a war. No war is good for us human and it leaves a mark in the heart of a generation. War affects the integrity of a nation. It destroys the humanity in many earthlings. An artist can use the power of his gift to preach about the adversities of war. A powerful image dedicated to war can have tremendous impact on the minds of people around the world.
When we look in to a piece of artwork depicting stories about war, we feel the pain inside use. We remain silent for few moments and carry that realization inside our hearts for a long time. There are many famous artists who made their work eternal by using war as their subject for painting. Sir Stanley Spencer lived in England during the tough time of world wars. The world was at war and every person living in that era had an impact of world wars in their mind. The setting of his paintings was mainly Cookham, his hometown. But he served during World War I, which lead to the famous Stanley Spencer painting, ‘The Resurrection of the Soldiers’. William Scott was born in Britain but mostly lived in Italy and France. He served during World War II. He tried to get into navy but got enlisted in the army. The effects of war can be seen on the many William Scott paintings.
