There was a section on the Culture Show on BBC 2 about British War Artists during World War Two, a tradition that began in the First World War and continues today. Possibly, unique in the world?
There was a section on Graham Sutherland's work during the Blitz as well as some old film footage of Pembrokeshire and its relationship to some of this landscape work. I did make me re-consider this work as it viewing it looks scratchy as if he is knows there is something there, but not sure how to organise yet. I will be watching again and looking for others, besides Henry Moore, Paul Nash - who painted the iconic Battle of Britain image, John Piper.
