The War Artists Advisory Committee (WAAC), was a British government agency established within the Ministry of Information at the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 and headed by Sir Kenneth Clark. Its aim was to compile a comprehensive artistic record of Britain throughout the war. This was achieved both by appointing official war artists, on full-time or temporary contracts and by acquiring artworks from other artists. When the committee was dissolved in December 1945 its collection consisted of 5,570 works of art produced by over four hundred artists. This collection was then distributed to museums and institutions in Britain and around the world, with over half of the collection, some 3,000 works, going to the Imperial War Museum.

  • War Artists Advisory Committee (WAAC), Poradní výbor pro válečné umění byla britská vládní agentura založená v rámci Ministerstva informací v Británii při vypuknutí druhé světové války v roce 1939 s cílem sestavit komplexní umělecký a dokumentární soubor o dějinách Británie během války. Jejím prvním předsedou byl jmenován . Když byl v prosinci 1945 výbor rozpuštěn, jeho sbírka obsahovala 5 570 uměleckých děl od více než 400 umělců. Tato sbírka byla distribuována do muzeí a institucí v Británii a po celém světě, přes polovinu děl – asi 3000 – je uloženo ve sbírkách Imperial War Museum. (cs)
