Disasters over the course of the 20th and 21st centuries have provoked a continuous existential debate among artists of the Avant Gardes in Europe and America. The development and deployment
of technologies of destruction and social and ecological collapse have nurtured an apocalyptic view of the world occupying the consciousness of many artists. From the 1st World War to the present, artists have pursued and redefined the ‘Vanitas’ tradition, continuing to explore the transience of life,
the certainty of death, and the promise of ruin.
