This art work shows how american received the returning american pilots from ww2. The two hay wagons and sheaves of corn spread across the field provide a subtle echo of the returning Lancaster’s wingspan and the layering of the lowering cloudbase emphasises the horizontal Lincolnshire landscape. This Lancaster and its two fellow craft behind have returned from a post D-Day daylight raid which in essence was often as dangerous if not more so than night raids, the threat of crack German fighter units always ever present. The corn is being gathered in ahead, hopefully, of the ominous threat of rain. The farmhand on top of the wagon holds aloft the last sheaf to indicate a full load; the afternoon sun catches it, golden and gleaming against the dark mauve of the sky behind. The second wagon will now be brought forward. To the seasoned hands, the work comes first, and the whole family is out to help, but the young boy cannot resist waving to the returning Lancaster. Beyond him, the tower of the local church rises above the distant fields- a symbol of rural stability for centuries. The Royal Air Force is taking the fight to the foe, but the farmer’s fight against time and the weather is just as important, if not more so. The bomber crews need to eat too…..

1862 Winslow Homer Civil War Illustrations shows how soldiers helped each other during war. many were injuired and and needed assistance. When Winslow Homer began his career with Harper's Weekly, he had no formal art training and was not, at the time, respected as a great artist. Much of his early work at Harper's Weekly was to make sketches from Mathew Brady photographs. These sketches were then carved onto large wooden blocks, and used to "stamp" the images onto the pages of Harper's Weekly. These original Harper's Weekly pages have now become treasured pieces of art.

The over 200 people who gathered for the unveiling of the Hoboken World War II memorial this afternoon didn't seem to mind the pouring rain. Indeed, complaints were few as those who attended the ceremony instead remembered America's WWII veterans and the hardship they went through in serving their country. The crowd especially remembered those 159 young men from Hoboken who gave the ultimate sacrifice -- their lives. statues created by Carly Baldwin

//"The Knocked Down Ace," by Alexander Deineka// //a canadian artist. who interpreted really clear ideas and demonstrated real war conflict that soldiers and pilots faced.// //The technology backthen in WW2 was on its early stages. and wen a pilot got shot he had 2 choises. Jump from the plane and die, or stay on the plane till it crashed and die.// This series of photographs called ‘Stop the Violence’ by Francois Robert is another example of how powerful simple images can be in conveying anti-war messages. Recently I was in the National Portrait Gallery in London and one piece stood out Official war artist Steve McQueen’s Queen and Country is a display case that features a full page of stamps for each of the UK servicemen and women killed in the war in Iraq.

has been given a new illumination and will be repositioned at Madrid's Reina Sofia museum of modern art. The museum is also trying to recreate the atmosphere of the 1937 Paris Universal Exposition where the Guernica was first seen, with other art works and an anti-war movie that were shown at the Spanish pavilion, a miniature model of which is included in the display.

It also speaks of America’s whitewashing and exploitation of everyone and everything on earth. Hollywood seems as good a symbol as any to represent this notion; creating a synthetic reorganized reality and passing it off as the real deal. For me, the forties era is a much more aesthetically pleasing visual vocabulary to work with than contemporary Hollywood, plus it provides a sense of nostalgia. I also like the idea of a time warp; a forties movie about Vietnam. I’m exploring the idea that time is nonlinear and plastic". Mondrian said, "The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel." This makes a lot of sense to me, because it often seems that ideas come in from somewhere else. Since I was a kid I’ve always wondered about what lies beyond our immediate awareness.
