Conscience and Conflict by Simon Martin
The Spanish Civil War (July 1936 to April 1939) was arguably one of the most politically and socially significant conflicts of the 20th century. Conscience and Conflict, accompanying a ground-breaking exhibition at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester and Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, is the first book to consider the fascinating and wide-ranging responses of British artists to the war in Spain. It focuses on work by British visual artists such as Edward Burra, Wyndham Lewis, Henry Moore and John Armstrong, examining them alongside international figures such as Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro.
'There can be no doubting the power of the images producedExtensively illustrated and featuring a text that is both a history and a commentary, this fascinating book chronicles a period that is on the point of fading from living memory but can inform present times.' The Artist
