Follow the Flag: Australian Artists and War 1914..4..5 marks the centenary of this pivotal moment in modern Australian history. Bringing together paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs and decorative arts, including objects made in the trenches, Follow the Flag reveals the experiences of Australians actively engaged in the armed forces and of those at home. This authoritative publication surveys the work of professional artists, official war artists and untrained amateur and soldier artists, reflecting the diversity of attitudes and experiences of this turbulent time Analysis Australian Notes Catalogue of an exhibition held at Ian Potter Centre, NGV Australia, Federation Square, Melbourne, 24 April - 16 August 2015 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Audience Adult Notes Catalogue of an exhibition held at Ian Potter Centre, NGV Australia, Federation Square, Melbourne, 24 April - 16 August 2015 Subject Art and war -- Exhibitions.
