Artist's Description
My dad was a medic during WWII and he was often right in the mist of the fighting. He spent his spare time drawing what he had witnessed during this time. These are a reminder of what war is all about. This art is now a part of the Air Force Art Collection that was started in 1950. These pieces of art are constantly displayed at military bases throughout this country and around the world.
These are the prints that the Army Art Collection gave my mother when we had the opportunity to view the originals when the collection rotated through Washington, DC. No one in the family had viewed them, since he donated them at the time of his discharge after the war.

I would work 8-10 hours daily on engraving a contour map with a hand held, .002 line engraver for up to 200 hours, depending on the terrain being mapped. Drawing tools have become an extension of my hand. My daily work, for over 20 years, touched on all parts of mapping, from surveyors’ notes to map folding. This daily environment was a constant honing of eye/hand skills. I have 7 basic forms that guide me, square, round, elliptical, triangle, hexagon, oval and rectangle. Master the line...

It makes me happy the way you honor your father and the war effort he served with his drawings. Good job, David! l/f/t

Your father was so talented. Sometimes when we think of "all those who served" it's hard to see them as individuals with such varied talents and dreams. Just imagining what it must have been like for him to be there and sit down to paint and draw what he experienced puts a more realistic human face on it all. Thank you for sharing his work. LF
