“Paul Wager is my kind of artist – I have said this many times – I admire the way he ignores what is “in” – he doesn't do “cool” – he doesn't do “irony” but concentrates on subjects which resonate with his tough sense of morality and personal integrity. He is one of the few contemporary artists I know that has had the nerve to take on the huge challenge of dealing with a subject as loaded as the Great War and in my opinion has acquitted this task magnificently.”
