world war I nerd Posted September 29, 2016 Share #27 Posted September 29, 2016 The Canadian artist Kerr Eby is perhaps best known for his renderings of U.S. Marines on Tarawa and Guadalcanal in the pacific Theater of WW II. However, he served as an ambulance driver and camouflage artist during WWI. While "Over There" he created numerous images of the AEF in both life and death.

JFP54 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share #30 Posted September 29, 2016 One of the eight artist-correspondents, Harvey Dunn, had big plans, and wanted to continue painting for the War College after the war, but they nixed the project. He used several of the paintings later as covers for the American Legion magazine. His war paintings are somewhere at the Smithsonian - haven't seen them yet, unfortunately.

JFP54 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share #32 Posted September 29, 2016 Saul Tepper was not a combat artist. He was, however, a student of Harvey Dunn. He studied with Dunn after the war in New York City. He was also a song writer for Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miler and Harry James. Would liked to have met this guy. This is a detail from a larger work. Will post soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38Driver Posted October 1, 2016 Share #36 Posted October 1, 2016 The following artwork is scanned from the 1945 book "Men without Guns" that is a book specifically artwork done about WW2 medics. Some powerful stuff. This is just a small sampling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiques Posted October 16, 2016 Share #44 Posted October 16, 2016 I really like original military artwork. Here is a piece that was painted by a former Saddam muralist who was out of work post - Invasion of Iraq. The artist worked from photographs and showed his skill at painting Saddam!

scottiques Posted October 16, 2016 Share #45 Posted October 16, 2016 Here is a WW1 Soldier protecting the US Flag with his .45 drawn. The painting is about 2' X 3'. I suspect that this was used for some sort of patriotic poster, but I haven't found an example yet. The painting is oil on canvas with an old frame. Bottom left is signed and dated (I believe it is "17" for 1917), but I cannot decipher the name. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFP54 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share #47 Posted October 20, 2016 Artist Jes Schlaijker did "Your metal is your might" which appeared a few posts previous (the machine gun crew). During the war he was an artist for the War Dept. and had a studio at the Pentagon. http://www.schlaikjer.net/jes.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
