Dog Tired is a 1916 oil painting by the British artist C.R.W. Nevinson. [1] 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.
