Historical Highlights: Combat Artists from the FWMoA Collection (2/2)

A grey-toned sketch of a man looking into the distance. This portrait shows only the head and a section of shoulders of a man, middle aged, in a suit with a vest and thin bowtie. his hair is short and thinning, his lips are in a straight line, and his eyes are slightly narrow, focusing on something far away, "behind" the viewer, to the left. The lower right corner reads: "Altekruse" in capital letters.

Our Collection Information Specialist, Sue Slick, brings us Part II of this Historical Highlight. Follow along to hear about more combat artists in the FWMoA collection!

Historical Highlights: Combat Artists from the FWMoA Collection (1/2)

A brown and cream colored image. The horizontal city scape shows the background of buildings, potentially apartment complexes, in the center and on the right. The middle ground has a coupling of bridges and ramps shown on the lefthand side. The foreground shows construction in progress, with exposed I-beams and ladders throughout. Mounds of dirt or sand are held back by beams, butted next to each other, creating a fence. The style is a line sketch with shading, but no additional colors.

Today's Historical Highlights focuses on three artists who all served in the U.S. military. Reflecting on the Ghost Army exhibit, Collection Information Specialist Sue Slick informs us of these impactful artists.
