Nevinson’s prints were particularly admired when first exhibited. One critic wrote that he ‘contrives to make the visitor almost giddy,’ another that he possessed ‘the power of expressing sensations rather than visual facts’. Nevinson studied lithography under Ernest Jackson in 1912. At the outbreak of war he volunteered as an ambulance driver, an experience which deeply affected him. He was appointed an official war artist in 1917. These prints follow the process of building aircraft, from making parts to assembly and flight. ‘Acetylene Welder’ and ‘Assembling Parts’ both show the growing contribution of women workers. This work forms part of the portfolio ‘The Great War: Britain’s Efforts and Ideals’, a series of 66 lithographic prints commissioned by the Ministry of Information in 1917.
