WAR ARTISTS
Disclaimer: Please be advised that I had to search for these artists and I have no previous knowledge on them, hence I have provided links for you to check them out yourself
Alison Smith - dealt with a twisted representation of the impact of war through her work - very new artist - just found her : [2]
Aleksandra Mir - [3]
Jules De Balincourt - not so sure about him - but he basically tried to provide a reason for war by depicting the town as being too perfect and ideal - so that it looks blantantly obvious that they will fall - [4]
