Artists have always been resourceful and resilient during times of crisis. Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele’s creative bursts before their untimely deaths from the Spanish flu pandemic echo our current times. Official War artists such as Henry Moore and Graham Sutherland created some of their most poignant work observing war at home and abroad. While Picasso defiantly stayed in Paris for the duration of WWII.
