An image from the archive which seems to fit in with the 11 / 11/ 11 day.  On a day such as November the 11th, one thinks of the war dead. The paintings from World War One barely feature a corpse, one wonders what the official war artists really saw. Henry Tonks came close with his beautifully and delicately crafted drawings of the mutilated faces of Flanders infantry. Ripped Tommies. There are more dead bodies graphically depicted in comics and video games than there is ever recorded in official art. A.K 47s and grinning skulls feature as tattoos or as ironic images (or not ) of immature work.
