 1. Who was the artist? What role did each artist play in the war? (soldier? medic? parent? etc.)
 2. What were the artist's reactions to the war?  How did the changing events shape the life (or death) of the artist?
 3. What is the basic "style" of his art? (Futurist? Expressionist? Impressionist?) Did the war affect the artist's style subject matter and expression?  Explain.
 4. What ideals, experiences & observations does the artist seem to be trying to communicate with each picture?  How do these goals & observations fit with "progress" of the war in that year?  Explain.
