In this book, however, James Fox paints a very different picture of artistic life in wartime Britain. Drawing on a wide range of sources, he examines the cultural activities of largely forgotten individuals and institutions, as well as the press and the government, in order to shed new light on art's unusual role in a nation at war. He argues that the conflict's artistic consequences, though initially disruptive, were ultimately and enduringly productive. He reveals how the war effort helped forge a much closer relationship between the British public and their art--a relationship that informed the country's cultural agenda well into the 1920s"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The outbreak of war and the business of art -- Perceptions of art -- The arts mobilize -- War pictures : truth, fiction, function -- Peace pictures : escapism, consolation, catharsis -- Art and society after the war. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Art and the war. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Social aspects $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Art, British $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Artists $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art and society $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 650 7 $a Art and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 $a Art and war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815446 650 7 $a Art, British. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816044 650 7 $a Artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817559 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354981 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 830 0 $a Studies in the social and cultural history of modern warfare ; $v 43. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211031252.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826035925.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=104E4AE081F911E58D57CB8FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
