Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson

Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

British artist Christopher Nevinson painted scenes of World War I with direct, unflinching lines. In his 1914 drawing Returning to the Trenches, soldiers march forward under heavy gear, their silhouettes sharp against the sky. His 1916 watercolour Boesinghe Farm shows a battered Belgian farmhouse half-swallowed by war’s mud.

These works belong to the gritty, wartime realist tradition that followed the war’s outbreak. Tap Boesinghe Farm to see how watercolour could carry the weight of conflict.
