A war artist
In war and paint.
Images from the diary of an artist allowed access to UK troops. Even in this day and age, the pencil, pen and paint can evoke more emotion than the mere photograph. BBC website link. |

Thanks Geoff. These paintings expresses a world of feelings.
It makes me sad to realize that all what these people want, on either side, is a safe and secure home. It's an very old tradition: painters registring the battles. After World War 2 we had an exhibition of Canadian war-painters in The Netherlands (Amsterdam), which showed the advance of the Allied forces in Europe. |
