As The 100th
Anniversary Of The Armistice Day 11/11/1918 at 11 AM Commences-Some Artists Who
Fought/Died/Lived Through The Nightmare That Destroyed The Flower Of European And American Youth -Horace Pippin
By Seth Garth
A few years ago, starting
in August 2104 the 100th anniversary of what would become World War
I, I started a series about the cultural effects of the slaughter which mowed
down the flower of the European youth including an amazing number of artists, poets
and other cultural figures. I had my say there in a general sense but now as we
are only a few months away from the 100th anniversary of, mercifully,
the armistice which effectively ended that bloodbath I want to do a retrospective
of artistic works by those who survived the war and how those war visions got translated
into their works with some commentary if the spirit moves me but this is their show-no
question they earned a retrospective.
