‘THIS IS WAR!’ OPENS MAY 10 AT DELAWARE ART MUSEUM

AVV 1-14 #725448

 

WILMINGTON, DEL. — The Delaware Art Museum will present the exhibition “This Is War!,” on view May 10–August 10.

In the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries, war in America changed from battlefields with facing lines of soldiers to small-scale guerilla attacks, and then to action in large-scale impersonal battles.

Not coincidentally, the illustration of war in the popular press and wartime propaganda became part of the embattled milieu. From the Delaware Art Museum’s illustration collections, this small exhibition will include artists’ interpretations of war from the Eighteenth through the Twentieth Centuries.

The Delaware Art Museum is at 2301 Kentmere Parkway. For more information, www.delart.org, 302-571-9590 or 866-232-3714.
