Bursting Shell
Artist: Christopher R. W. Nevinson
Date: 1915

Nevinson, one of the most dynamic voices of early 20th-century British modernism, captured the violence and chaos of the First World War with a Futurist eye. This piece explodes with fractured geometry, light radiating outward in violent shards, echoing both the shattering of shells and the disintegration of human order under mechanized warfare. The energy, abstraction, and urgency define Nevinson’s pivotal role as a war artist, presenting both innovation and the trauma of a generation.
