The War to End All Wars: WWI through Recent Acquisitions

August 19 - December 23, 2014
In Ripin Gallery

In conjunction with the centenary of World War I, works selected by Denise Birkhofer address one of the greatest conflicts in modern history. Prints by French artists Guy Arnoux and Jean-Émile Laboureur include wartime propaganda as well as depictions of life on the battlefield and home front. Black-and-white photographs by American contemporary artist Jim Riswold—based on actual images of two of the war’s bloodiest battles—recreate the feel of documentary photography and suggest rugged landscapes through his witty monumentalizing of foodstuffs and miniature soldiers.
