      abstract = {World War I marks the first time that artists went into  battle. In 1918, the Army recruited eight artists and made  them captains. They deployed with the American  Expeditionary Forces and recorded events firsthand. Other  eyewitness artists also documented the fighting, albeit  unofficially. They established a legacy: since World War I,  active duty Army artists have followed in the footsteps of  the artists included in this volume. They put on uniforms,  live with the troops, observe the Army's activities  directly, and preserve these memories on canvas, paper, and  other mediums. From World War II to Vietnam to current  operations all over the world, Army artists have been  inspired by the work of their predecessors in World War I.  This volume presents the rich artistic legacy of World War  I, showcasing some of the 16,000 pieces of art from the  Army Art Collection and the U.S. Army Center of Military  History. These artworks are vivid primary sources on the  war.--Provided by publisher.},
