Paul Nash. The Menin Road, 1919.
WW1 changed everything forever, and part of everything was art. This may not be the battlefield scene the British War Memorial Committee envisioned memorializing in such a vast canvas, but it was not the first or last time a modern young painter returned a commission to them as a shocking new way of seeing an inimaginable new kind of war.
I think drones may change war, and so also inevitably art, in our decade to a similar extent.
