Art of war:

Harvey Dunn gallery commemorates 100th armistice anniversary LAUREN FRANKEN Managing Editor

A

t 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918, after more than 8.5 million military casualties, the Allies of World War I and Germany ceased fire, effectively ending what had been the bloodiest U.S. conflict up to that point. One hundred years after the armistice that ended World War I, the South Dakota Art Museum is commemorating the anniversary with paintings and illustrations by South Dakota war artist Harvey Dunn. The War Works exhibit features art from Dunn’s time as a war artist, as well as works he created before and after the war. Last year, the collection was on display from March 31 to Aug. 27 to commemorate the anniversary of the United States’ entrance into World War I on April 6, 1917. The War Works exhibit shown in remembrance of the armistice is larger than last April’s display because it contains seven of Dunn’s frontline illustrations on loan from the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. Harvey Dunn, Gunfire, oil on canvas, 1929. South Dakota Art Museum Collection.
