This article about German artists during WW1 is astonishing:

I suppose we all know about the war poets, and to a lesser extent the British war artists, but it's salutary to be reminded that the horror of war was a universal experience.
It's also ironic to notice that the Nazis condemned such art as degenerate before plunging the world into a war that was even more barbaric.
