A century since the end of WWI Tate Britain takes a look at how artists responded to the physical and psychological scars left on Europe. A fascinating and moving exhibition, Aftermath: Art in the Wake of World War One features works by George Grosz, Otto Dix, Picasso, Winifred Knights, Fernand Leger and CRW Nevinson. It shows the different ways in which artists reacted to memories of war. George Grosz and Otto Dix exposed the unequal treatment of disabled veterans in post-war society, we saw the birth of new art forms in dada and surrealism, Pablo Picasso and Winifred Knights returned to tradition and classicism while others imagined future cities as society began to rebuild itself.
