Some Corner Of A Foreign Field by James Bentley
As the poets wrote of every aspect of the World War II so their artist contemporaries captured scenes of both chaos and compassion, horror and humour, which sometimes no words could describe. Paul Nash's battle, torn wastelands portray a savage world, far removed from the gentle landscapes evoked longingly by his brother John. The lonely torment of the women at home depicted by artists such as Harold Gilman is no less moving than the images of suffering in the trenches by CRW Nevinson, Stanley Spencer and Percy Wyndham Lewis.James Bentley (1937-2000) worked as a teacher, academic, historian, and Anglican priest, among other things. He was the Vicar of Oldham, Lancashire, Dean and Senior Chaplain at Eton College, Windsor, and the University of Sussex's Maurice Reckitt Research Fellow in Christian Social Philosophy.
