  The Art of War

  Yvette Nolan

  This exploration of the role of artists in times of war and peace tells the story of Nick, an embedded Canadian artist in the Second World War tasked with capturing the horror on canvas, who goes on a surreal journey and discovers the power of his art. Nick’s story is framed by Heather’s lecture in 2005, wherein she argues that the war made Canadian artists and Canadian artists made Canada.
