"Aftermath" at Tate Britain; Postcript - the Royal Academy's Great Spectacle

Aftermath at Tate Britain; Postscript - the Royal Academy's Great Spectacle - 250 Years of the Summer Exhibition


The Exhibition called Aftermath at Tate Britain is a strange affair. Its starting point is the First World War. The Exhibition claims to “explore the impact of the ..War on the art of Britain, France and Germany between 1916 and 1932”.

(Why those dates are chosen is something I’m still puzzling over. 1932 was the last full year of the Weimar Republic in Germany – Hitler came to power in 1933.)
