http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29235538 Artworks by survivors of the 1945 atomic bomb in Hiroshima are to go on show outside Japan for the first time. The powerful and often disturbing paintings will feature in an exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery next month. The pictures depict horrific scenes from 6 August 1945, when the first atomic bomb was dropped from a US aircraft during World War Two. The images were created after a request by Japanese broadcaster NHK in the 1970s and later toured the country. Twelve paintings and drawings by the so-called 'hibakusha', which translates as bomb-exposed people, will be included in The Sensory War 1914-2014 exhibition in Manchester. The article contains several of the pictures that are to go on display. They differ significantly in style, but they're all moving and compelling. |

they are compelling pieces that are shown, i still believe dropping those bombs was a mistake, now we have so many of them and are more than willing to use them. |
