Myth and Machine : Art and Aviation in the First World War

Jon & Peter Clericuzio Mogul | 2014

The First World War was the first major armed conflict to be fought not just on land and sea, but in the sky. Airplanes, more than any other kind of armament, had a magnetic appeal for artists as an embodiment of the highly technological and immensely destructive mode of warfare that emerged between 1914 and 1918. Myth and Machine examines how artists envisioned war in the sky, showing that aerial warfare had a striking cultural resonance across national lines as a source of both fear and wonder, a new vantage from which to see and depict war and its impacts, and an arena for action by a distinctly modern kind of hero.
