For me, the art of the The War to End All Wars that impacts me most is the art that doesn't allude to religious and classical themes. E.g.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Sargent%...

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46560/dulce-et-decoru...

They remind me of the importance of art as a non-commercial pursuit. YMMV.

The oil painting Death of the Dragon by Evelyn De Morgan
chiffre01•4h ago
In the context of World War I, this painting feels completely irrelevant to the reality of the war, its causes, and its consequences.

Compare it with the works of Otto Dix or others who actually experienced the war firsthand there is no "battle between good and evil," there's just senseless mayhem.

TLDR it's a typical narrative article: "female artist overshadowed by her famous husband". Magazines like the BBC and The Guardian pump out these articles by the dozen. She may or may not be a good painter; her skill is irrelevant to the journalist's angle.
