Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson

British artist Christopher Nevinson painted scenes of World War I with direct, unflinching lines. In his 1914 drawing *Returning to the Trenches*, soldiers march forward under heavy gear, their silhouettes sharp against the sky. His 1916 watercolour *Boesinghe Farm* shows a battered Belgian farmhouse half-swallowed by war’s mud. These works belong to the gritty, wartime realist tradition that followed the war’s outbreak. Tap *Boesinghe Farm* to see how watercolour could carry the weight of conflict.
