Art and the great War
Art and the Great War is a 1919 New York survey of wartime art by A. E. Gallatin, published by E.P. Dutton for a general readership interested in the First World War. Its plates are monochrome reproductions of artists' drawings and lithographs showing troops, ships and wartime labour. A designer could take from them the tonal range of crosshatched ink and lithographic crayon, and the contrast between dense foreground crowds and open, hazy distances.
