Contemporary artistic works mark 75th anniversary of VE Day

Online exhibition of art, poetry and music explores themes around conflict and victory

When the Spanish illustrator Cristina Daura was asked to contribute to a collection of artistic works to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day it was a challenge.

The idea of victory in war begged the question: at what cost? At 31, Daura, whose vibrant illustrations have featured in exhibitions, books, magazines and newspapers around the world, had not lived through the second world war.
