Description: | Henry Tonks Aug. 1918
image: The scene of a cellar that is being used as a casualty clearing station. There is a wounded man on a stretcher
attended by a medical orderly and several other figures in the background. Light streams into the cellar from the doorway at the top of the
composition.
This smaller work, painted in August 1918, reflects his medical and painting interests. As an artist Tonks is
captivated by the effects of light streaming down into the calm and mellow interior of the Arras cellar. The professional medical expert
also accurately records the postures of the anonymous RAMC staff. A sense of unease is conveyed by the figure lying on the slab, evidence
of the artist’s continued interest in anatomical work. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | interior 01/3(4-15) Western Front 1914-1918 British Army 1914-1918 Military Personnel British Army wounded / disabled medical / convalescence Western Front Royal Army Medical Corps First World War | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Tonks, Henry | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
