Abstract:"To Paint a War follows artists such as Tom Roberts, Grace Cossington Smith, Hilda Rix Nicholas, Arthur Streeton and George Coates; detailing how they left Australia in search of inspiration and fame in London and Paris. It shows how their enviable lives were suddenly interrupted by the outbreak of war. This is the story of their response to the crisis. Their work, in all its richness and variety, is a sweeping painterly chronicle of the war, and a vital part of Australia's heritage." -- Provided by publisher
