Tate Archive is rich in material relating to the First World War, representing a variety of experiences at home and at the front. There are the artists who fought in Europe, some of whom became war artists (the brothers Paul and John Nash, Stanley Spencer, David Jones); conscientious objectors (Duncan Grant); artists who portrayed officers, alive or dead, and other dignitaries (Walter Sickert, William Nicholson); artists who recorded work on the land (William Rothenstein); as well as artists involved in humanitarian organisations such as the Newlyn Artists Belgian Relief Fund.
This Show and Tell aims to demonstrate this variety through the display of letters, drawings, sketchbooks and other archival items.
