Wartime
This set gathers together Richard's commissioned work for the Admiralty, war pictures he did independently and some drawings and paintings done as a young teenager in WW1. Little did Richard imagine then that he would be an official war artist in the next world shattering conflict.
The WW2 works not only include images of conflict and fighting but also other aspects of war such as harrowing portraits of imagined inmates of prison camps, and an image of a remote bombed-out house perched near the sea, with its immaculate vegetable patch still intact: destruction and creation side by side.
