WHiST members say an exhibition entitled
BRITISH ART OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR.
(The largest exhibition for nearly 100 years.)
Two female artists were included, although they were not recognised until after the war ended.
The one who impressed me most was Anna Airy.
The saying; A picture speaks a thousand words describes her art perfectly.

Female artists were included. The pictures seem to speak to you, some were very dark, you could feel and sense the pain and fear in the trenches.

York Art Gallery
As a group we travelled to York to visit an art gallery. We went to see an exhibition of paintings officially commissioned to depict World War 1. I found the paintings powerful, thought provoking. Some paintings showed the horrors of the trenches, whilst others showed how women took on male working roles.
