This paper discusses the contribution of the early twentieth century avant-garde art to the conception and implementation of military camouflage techniques during the First World War. Some issues are analyzed, such as the cubist origin of mimetic camouflage designs (called Disruptive Pattern Material), the role played by the artists in the ideation of numeorus trompe l’ oeil for military purposes and camoufleur condition as an artist - soldier, a subject divided between functionality and aesthetics. All this serves as a foundation to support the thesis that the war context served as a field test for techniques, desires and art forms of the historical vanguards.Downloads
