Look up Otto Dix. You'll find some of the finest and goriest art of the trenches from him. Here's some samples.

I'm familiar with him, but that's not "trench art." Trench art is a genre of artwork made from materiel, like vases that have been carved from shell casings. It's mostly associated with soldiers in the trenches taking the crap that was lying around them and working on it on the front lines.
