| Details: | World War I and the Lyme Art Colony illuminates the significant role played by artists with ties to Connecticut in mobilizing public sentiment for America’s entry into the war and in defining a new role for art in the field of modern warfare. The exhibition will draw on the Museum’s permanent collection and selected loans from public and private collections to illuminate the significant role played by artists with ties to Connecticut in mobilizing public sentiment for America’s entry into the war and in defining a new role for art in the field of modern warfare. When America joined the Great War on the side of England and France in 1917, Connecticut’s artists met the call. Members of the Lyme Art Colony, such as Everett Warner and Charles Bittinger, participated in the camouflage program, developing new schemes to protect ships from enemy fire, and Connecticut artists such as Louis Orr served in the French Army.
