This book accompanies the exhibition by the same name which traveled to fourteen venues in Canada. It chronicles the war experience through the memories, diaries, letters, songs and poetry of Canadians at war, skillfully interwoven by author Heather Robertson in a tribute to courage, resilience and compassion in the face of terrible forces of destruction. Included in the exhibition, drawn from the collections of the Canadian War Museum, are such artists as Maurice Cullen, Charles William Jeffery, David Milne, G.A. Reid, Miller Brittain, Alex Colville, Carl Schaefer, Jack Shadbolt, and members of the Group of Seven, A.Y. Jackson, Franz Johnston, Arthur Lismer, Fred Varley and Edwin Holgate. Memoirs and letters originally in French were found by David Lobdell; translations by David Toby Homel. Issued to coincide with Remembrance Day, 11 November 1977, an exhibition of Canadian war art from the two world wars opened at the Rodman Hall Arts Centre in St. Catharines, Ontario. About a month earlier A Terrible Beauty: The Art of Canada at War, billed as the official catalogue for the exhibition, appeared in bookstores across Canada. During the following two years the exhibition was on gallery tour within Canada, coming to rest for its final show from 1 December 1979 through 20 February 1980 at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. The book/catalogue together with the gallery tour constitute an ambitious, collaborative undertaking. While chiefly the work of Heather Robertson, author of the book's eight-page introduction and selector of the war writings and the exhibit's 102 works of war art reproduced in the book, the publishing of A Terrible Beauty and the mounting of the traveling exhibit awaited the assistance of the publisher James Lorimer and Joan Murray, Director of the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa. Necessary cooperation also came from the National Museums of Canada. Those responsible for A Terrible Beauty have performed a service for Canadians: the rescue of remarkable works of war art from the oblivion to which most of them had been consigned in a warehouse of the Canadian War Museum. One can only speculate with Heather Robertson that perhaps revulsion from the subject of war kept the war art collection from any major public showing since 1946. Post-World War II books on Canadian art have not, however, completely ignored the work of Canadian war artists.' Charles Comfort's own Artist at War (Toronto, 1956), parts of which A Terrible Beauty uses, presents graphically and verbally one artist's experience of war. But not before A Terrible Beauty has so much of the rich legacy of art bequeathed Canadians by our war artists been reproduced in one book. Art is one of the means men and women have of confronting and transcending the brevity of human life, but war, which cruelly sharpens that brevity, can overwhelm and paralyze an artist. Yet Canadian war artists captured and apotheosized into works of art the experiences of two generations of Canadians caught in the toils of war. From the unspeakable misery, devastation and drudgery, to the compassion and snatched moments of repose and even revelry, the subjects are as varied as the styles. Women artists, protected from combat, showed life behind the front, as in H. Mabel May's glowing "Women Making Shells" from the First World War and, from the Second, Paraskeva Clark's energetic "Parachute Riggers" and Molly Lamb Bobak's gossamer "C.W.A.C. Wedding in the Seminary's Chapel." More directly exposed to the brutality and destruction, male artists of both wars testified, in their most powerful statements, to the staggering horrors of war: F. H. Varley's "Sunken Road" shows a battle-scarred stretch of the First World War's western front, strewn with dead bodies.
