	Trench Art: An Illustrated History, by Jane Kimball
		Shell case flower vases, the central objects of interest to many trench art collectors, are valued by different collectors either for the quality of the art work on a piece, for specific unit or regimental identifications, or for the commemoration of individual battles.
		Trench art items made during the war were in fact created at a distance from the front line trenches either by soldiers ‘at rest’ behind the front lines, by skilled artisans among the civilian population, by prisoners of war, or by soldiers convalescing from wounds as handicraft therapy.
		Pairs of shell casings with one marked ‘1914’ and the other ‘1918’ were very popular souvenirs of the war. Sometimes pairs have been separated, and the ‘1914’ piece is sold as having been made in 1914.

	Modernism -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
		The modern movement emerged in the late (Click link for more info and facts about 19th century) 19th century, and was rooted in the idea that "traditional" forms of art, literature, social organization and daily life had become outdated, and that it was therefore essential to sweep them aside and reinvent culture.

	Manifesto of Futurist Architecture

	constructivism - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about constructivism
		Abstract art movement that originated in Russia in about 1914 and subsequently had great influence on Western art.
		While constructivism has had a long and diverse life in the West, in the USSR it was ended abruptly in the early 1930s by the enforcement of socialist realism as the only acceptable kind of art under Stalin's dictatorship.
		The word constructivism has been used so broadly that it is sometimes little more than a synonym for any kind of geometrical abstraction, including minimal art (see minimalism) and hard-edge painting.

	HELLFIRE CORNER - the Great War - Trench Art
		Trench Art is the common though misleading name given to these objects, and which were made in metal, cloth, wood and bone, by soldiers, Prisoners of War, and civilians between 1914 and 1939.
		Trench Art made by soldiers, in the front-line and behind-the-lines, is, perhaps surprisingly, the smallest category quantitatively speaking, due mainly to the period of manufacture being restricted to five years.
		Many Trench Art objects found their way back to Britain (as well as Commonwealth and various European countries) during this time as heart rending souvenirs, where they were displayed in the hallway, on a living room mantelpiece or bedroom dresser, ensuring that memories of loved ones were only ever a glance away.
