Throughout much of our history, artists have been embedded on the battlefield to capture soldiers in action. Join us as we analyze and discuss how wartime artists serving on the frontlines applied their artistic talents to express what they experienced in real-time from their own unique perspectives. In this program, we will look at the Army War Artist Program focusing on the Vietnam War, providing an historical context for the art.
