This site documents the experiences and work of the more than 100 servicemen and civilians who served as combat artists in the Second World War. Serving or living with combat, medical, and other units of the armed forces, these artists produced over 12,000 drawings and paintings, many of which have not been seen since the war. An exhibit from the Navy Art Gallery highlights the work of eight Navy combat artists, with brief biographies and thumbnailed images of some of their works. These include captions in the artists's own words, some of which were written on the reverse side of the paintings.
