No channels found
Presenter Andrew Graham-Dixon explores how three British artists - David Bomberg, Walter Sickert and Paul Nash - responded to the cataclysm of the First World War. He begins by focusing on the work of Paul Nash, who sketched the battlefields of Flanders near Ypres on 25th May 1917. He was so fixed on his work that he tripped and fell into a trench, breaking his ribs - an accident that went on to save his life and influence his later work
