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.
