War
Description
Segment one of this program addresses the anxiety and suffering surrounding World War I through Sir William Orpen's Zonnebeke, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska's Bird Swallowing a Fish, and Max Beckman's Carnival. Segment two reflects on the fear and anguish of World War II with Salvador Dali's Mountain Lake and Francis Bacon's triptych Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion. Segment three captures the doubts and deep-seated grief of post-war Europe through Jean Fautrier's Large Tragic Head, Alberto Giacometti's Standing Woman, and Hannah Collins' In the Course of Time II, a chilling reminder of the Holocaust.
