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.
