Description
"Disasters of War examines three great series of war etchings: Jacques Callot's Miseries of War, Goya's The Disasters of War and Otto Dix's War. Although the etchings were created in different centuries, and are stylistically unalike, they are links in a chain: Callot's influence on Goya is reflected in the latter's choice of title (a deliberate echo) and Dix shows his debt to Goya by quoting from him directly in one image. These prints are cornerstones of a vital tradition in European war art, an art of realism and protest." "Each series is the subject of an authoritative essay, placing it in its historical context."--BOOK JACKET.
