Image description

John Singer Sargent was not appointed an official war artist until June 1918. His artist friend Henry Tonks described his naivety: "He said to General Fielding one sunday when the band was playing, 'I suppose there is no fighting on Sundays.' Sometimes I used to wonder if he knew how dangerous a shell was ... he was merely annoyed if they burst sufficiently near to shake him."
