Krieg und bildende Kunst
Krieg und bildende Kunst is a 1917 German study of war in the visual arts by Walter Rothes, published in Munich by Parcus & Co. and held by the Getty Research Institute. Its plates are reproductions of paintings and prints of military scenes, shown with German captions naming artists and subjects. The pictures are dense, crowded compositions with strong diagonals, smoke, and soldiers in action, useful for a designer seeking dramatic wartime crowd scenes and historical battle staging. One plate shows a medieval-style crowd around a burning pyre tower, another a cavalry clash rendered in tight black-and-white contrast.
