Featuring four hundred paintings and sculptures depictingthe Canadian Expeditionary Force in the First World War, the exhibition became the gala eventof the London art season. Art at the Service of War is the story of how artists as diverse asmodernist Paul Nash, the revolutionary Vorticist Wyndham Lewis, and young Canadians suchas A.Y. Jackson came to paint Canada’s war. Bringing together the artists, critics, and art galleryowners with patrons, military leaders, and politicians, the experience exposed Canadians tomodern art at a time when the artists themselves were just beginning to explore this area.First published in 1984, Art at the Service of War remains a major contribution to Canadiancultural history. With the approaching hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of the GreatWar, this book provides a timely reminder of the impact of this conflict even beyond themilitary and political spheres.Maria Tippett is an emerita senior research fellow in the Faculty of History at CambridgeUniversity.
