Following Tension[s] 2020 departure, Tamworth Regional Gallery is pleased to host the Australian War Memorial exhibition Reality in flames: modern Australian art and the Second World War from 26 September to 22 November 2020.

Reality in flames explores the different ways in which Australian modernist artists responded creatively to the war, producing work which sought to comprehend cataclysmic events.

It also provides a visual history of the period, revealing the war as a transformative force that altered Australia and the world.

This is the first exhibition dedicated exclusively to exploring the reactions of Australian modernist artists to the Second World War.

Artists have always played a crucial role in recording and interpreting the Australian experience of war, and the works in this touring exhibition explore both the dangers soldiers faced abroad and the challenges war brought to the home front and to Australian society itself.
