EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War I, a tranquil scene unfolds at the John Hassall London School of Art in the heart of Kensington, London. In this photograph from 1915, a group of dedicated pupils are immersed in their art, focused intently on their easels as they paint en plein air in the school's garden. The serene setting, filled with lush greenery and blooming flowers, offers a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction of the war raging beyond the school's walls. John Hassall's London School of Art, renowned for its exceptional teaching and innovative approach to art education, was a hub of creativity and talent during this period. The school's alumni would go on to produce some of the most iconic British recruitment and propaganda posters that played a crucial role in rallying public support for the war effort. Although the specific address of the school is not disclosed in this photograph, its influence and impact on the artistic community during WWI are undeniable. The women and men depicted in this image are not only students, but also active contributors to the artistic response to the war. Their brushes, paint, and canvases serve as testament to their unwavering dedication to their craft, even in the midst of global conflict. This evocative scene encapsulates the spirit of resilience, creativity, and determination that characterized the artistic community during this pivotal moment in history.
