Description: Probes the impact of war art on the relations between art, state patronage and public interest in art, and considers how the period affected the trajectory of British Modernism, with close focus on the W.A.A.C. Argues that the W.A.A.C powerfully shaped post-war expectations about the place of art in the modern state. Discussion on censorship, artists' finances and prospects during the war and how the war art project contributed to evolving notions of national identity and Britishness". Mentions of Moore throughout the text with main discussion at the end of Chapter Two "Britain Besieged: Survival and Meaning on the Home Front". Pages 75-77 focus on Shelter Drawings and Coalmining Notebooks. Page 75 recounts the begining of the Shelter Drawings on the Northern Line and notes this encounter changed Moore's mind about becoming involved via short term contract with W.A.A.C. Some brief exploration of the influence of Primitive figures from British Museum and Florentine Renaissance painters. Page 76 compares the works of Edward Ardizzone with Moore and explores dehumanisation and characterisation in each artist's work. Page 77 looks at Shelter Drawings in relation to Erich Neumann's The Archetypal World of Henry Moore and discusses notions of masculinity. 5 Moore illus: Page 75 Women in a Shelter 1941 drawing.
