Artists - World War II
"A war artist will have depicted some aspect of war through art; this might be a pictorial record or it might commemorate how war shapes lives. A war artist creates a visual account of war by showing its impact as men and women are shown waiting, preparing, fighting, suffering, celebrating"
Contracted by the "War Artists' Advisory Committee" (WAAC) Laura Knight was an official artist during Second World War. Her works in the time of WW2 represent working or fighting woman mainly, there is also few painting that shows daily life during that time.
