Arts Society lecturer James Campbell will examine E H Shepard's artistic journey through the First World War from jocular cartoons in Punch as a civilian to dark and impactful images of death and destruction on the western front, and how his own artistic style and approach changed and was influenced by the conflict. He will show a range of cartoons, drawings, watercolours, annotated maps and guides for the Intelligence Corps, as well as commercial work for the home market. We will see a transition towards the simple economy of line and expression which is exemplified by the Winnie-the-Pooh illustrations started shortly after the end of the war.
