About This Item
Public Catalogue Foundation, London, first edition, 2006. Cloth, folio, 30 cm,. xii, 270 pp, ills. From the blurb: "By the end of the First World War the Imperial War Museum held the most important collection of contemporary British art in the country. Augmented by subsequent war artist schemes, the collection now offers a fascinating insight into twentieth Century warfare both on the front line and at home. This catalogue reveals all the oil paintings - 1,870 in total. This includes important works of modern British art by artists such as Knight, the Nashes, Nevinson, Orpen, Sargent and Spencer, alongside more recent acquisitions." From the introduction: "The principal focus of this series is oil paintings. However, tempera and acrylic are also included as well as mixed media, where oil is the predominant constituent. Paintings on all forms of support (e.g. canvas, panel, etc.) are included as long as the support is portable. The principal exclusions are miniatures, hatchments or other purely heraldic paintings and wall paintings in situ. Fine in Near Fine dustwrapper.
