Another artist which I have been
looking at or came across whilst looking at art which was inspired by
WW1 was John Singer Sargent. JSS was an American artist who was born
in 1856
He always loved to paint the truth.
Sargent used actual imagery and created the paintings from real
events which took place during the war. This was the way he liked to
paint and also what he was most interested in.
The painting 'Gassed' is an image which shows the aftermath of a mustard attack on the Western front during the first world war.
These images above are a selection of drawings which Sargent used to create the final painting 'Gassed'. These selection of drawings are development images of Soldiers in their every day routines.
Gassed - (1919)
