Description:  Originally from a sketchbook that Dix employed at the Front when serving with the field artillery during the First World War, this apocalyptic landscape was the first mainstream twentieth-century drawing to be acquired for the Barber collection. In its fragmented and interlocking planes it owes much to the innovations of the French Cubist painters.
