War art from the middle east

Photojournalists and reporters are generally the first point of call for documenting war. But War Artists In The Middle East sees the spotlight firmly placed on the painters and illustrators who have covered World War I through to current conflicts.

Artists’ letters, interviews – even a videojournal by John Keane during the 1991 Gulf War – sit alongside the artworks, while contextual information regarding popular misconceptions of the time shed light on the styles used to portray the Middle East.
