German official war artists were commissioned by the military to create artwork in the context of a specific war.[1]
Official war artists have been appointed by governments for information or propaganda purposes and to record events on the battlefield;[2] but there are many other types of artists depicting the subject or events of war. Meanwhile, military service and wartime experiences can significantly influence an artist's body of work. Artists like Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Otto Dix and Max Beckmann, who served in World War I, saw their art profoundly affected by their frontline experiences, reflecting the harsh realities and emotional impacts of conflict in their subsequent works.
