WW1 Propaganda Painting


This was a commissioned piece for our local WW1 commemoration. It was one of 10 commissioned pieces by local artists with the theme being; what was happening at home during the war?

Mine depicts the propaganda that was ubiquitous and so important to the war effort in keeping the populace motivated and engaged in the necessary activities. The most prominent was for King and country, hence the centre piece.

The black lines could denote many things from barbed wire to international borders, war plans and much more.

Mixed media and collage on box canvas

Size 90cm x 90cm    SOLD
