The first global survey of art in WWII, this volume presents artists whose work both supported and criticized their nations' war efforts.

Reviews:
-[E]xplores the work of representative artists within the political and social contexts of their times....[t]he writing vividly demonstrates the impact of war on art. Additional aids to students include a brief timeline and selective bibliographies for art in each country. This survey makes a useful addition to art history collections. —Lawrence Looks At Books
-[T]he first global survey of art during the war, and gathers biographies of such artists along with discussions of war-era art trends around the world. Of particular note are discussions which allow readers to compare not only artists' experiences of war in different countries, but their different responses to their experiences, from support of war efforts to criticism. Add discussions of the influence of artists' productions on war and you have an intriguing survey which goes beyond the art world. —MBR Bookwatch
