Summary[edit]
DescriptionGerman bath in a sea of desolation (4687921125).jpg |
English: Bath in a ruined wood, Western Front, during World War I. This image of a British soldier curled up in the remains of a cast-iron bath in the middle of a devastated wood is typical of a range of 'joke' photographs taken by the war photographers. It is not clear if these were intended as artistic perceptions by the photographer, or if they were simply a record of a lighter side of war. The juxtaposition of banal and jokey images in a scene of war has been continued by war artists in more recent conflicts. A notable example would be John Keane's Gulf War painting, ' Mickey Mouse at the Front', painted in 1991. |
