Yet, in the course of the First World War, a collision of naval strategy and the nascent modern art movement, led to some two thousand British ships going to sea as the largest painted modernist "canvases" in the world covered in abstract, clashing, decorative, and geometric designs in a myriad of colors. Dazzle camouflage had arrived. Heavily inspired by the Cubism and British Vorticism art movements, dazzle was conceived and developed by celebrated artist and then naval commander Norman Wilkinson. Dazzle camouflage rejects concealment in favor of disruption. It seeks to break up a ship's silhouette with brightly contrasting geometric designs to make a vessel's speed and direction incredible difficult to discern. False painted bow-waves and sterns were used to confuse and throw off the deadly U-boat captains. The high contrast shapes and colors further made it very difficult to match up a ship in the two halves of an optical naval rangefinder. This new book traces the development of the dazzle aesthetic from theory into practice and beyond." - publisher. 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a Deception (Military science) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Deception $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Deception $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Strategy $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Deception. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888968 650 7 $a Deception (Military science) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888978 650 7 $a Strategy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01134406 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804011212.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B499986E9E711E69A6025A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
