Paintings Of Peace And War

 We begin today with Meadow And Farm of Jas de Bouffan, a painting by Paul Cezanne, dating circa 1885-87.


Forest is another work by Cezanne, dating circa 1902-04.


A look down at the garden courtyard from above.


In The Dunes is by Adrian Stokes, circa 1920-21.


Sappers At Work: A Canadian Tunneling Company is by British artist David Bomberg, dating to 1919, one of the many examples of war art among Allied nations.


Dunkirk Beaches, May 1940 is the title of this dramatic work by Richard Eurich, done in 1940-41, depicting one of the critical moments of the Second World War.


And today I finish with Young Woman In A Gray Cloak, by Gwen John, done between 1920-24.
