Dog Tired (painting)

Dog Tired is a 1916 oil painting by the British artist C.R.W. Nevinson. It features a scene inspired by the trench warfare of the First World War . A group of exhausted British Army soldiers are shown catching a brief moment of sleep. Nevinson used the zigzagging angles of Futurism to convey the strain of warfare. The painting is in the collection of the City Museum and Art Gallery in Bristol, having been purchased in 1954.
