Plenty of pieces of War Art to choose from out there.
What's yours?

I've always liked work by Australian artist, Ivor Hele.
A selection here.http://illustrationart.blogspot.com/...lustrator.html

I like this one by Terry Shelbourne. I commissioned him to paint my Father's aircraft and it now hangs on my study wall.

Eagle Editions Ta 152 Stabschwarm with Will Reschke and Walter Loos signed. The JG 301 unit has a special place in my heart due to a cousin serving in 5th staffel in the fall of 44, KIA on 26 November 1944

Aufname aus !

I agree with you on that one. It's hanging in the IWM, London. Very powerful painting. How many people have noticed the football match being played it the background? The injured and damaged men in the forground but then the fit and healthy behind. It made me think the gassed men were once like those football players and how long would it be before they join the ranks of the wounded or dead.
Picture here.

Anythign by Robert Taylor, particularly his aircraft paintings, but also his submarines. I saw a beautiful one of HMS/m Seneschal he had done once as she was leading an X Craft out of harbour. I can't find it now, so if anyone else comes across a picture let me know.
