Summary:

"L'art pendant la guerre 1914-1918" by Robert de La Sizeranne is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the impact of World War I on the world of art, specifically analyzing how artists and artistic movements responded to the destruction and chaos brought about by the war. It delves into the roles of various artists, their works, and the broader implications for art during this tumultuous period. At the start of the book, the author poses questions about the value and impact of contemporary art in Germany during the war. He reflects on how artists would respond to the devastation of cultural heritage, like the destruction of the Reims cathedral. The opening sets the stage for a critical examination of German artistic identity and the tension between destruction and creativity in wartime, while also laying the groundwork for discussing the legacies of artists involved in the conflict.
