Description: | image: a column of French infantrymen march along a long straight pavé road. They all wear greatcoats and packs with their
rifles shouldered, the muzzles silhouetted against the hazy blue sky.
A solid column of soldiers marches against a vast, grey sky towards a light in the distance. The men have become a
single body of movement, strong in the face of the enemy but losing all individuality. Nevinson's use of sharp angles in the composition
emphasises the mechanisation of the exercise and the disorienting nature of war. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | 01/3(4-15) French Army Weapons Western Front 1914-1918 Military Personnel military manoeuvres French Army 1914-1918 Uniforms Western Front First World War roads | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Nevinson, C R W | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
