I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Description of Subject Matter: The USMC Combat Art Gallery ....tells an abbreviated history of the Marine Corps through the medium of art. Many artists represented in this National Collection are Marines who served as combat artists. Other works are produced by civilian artists and illustrators.

The Marine Corps’ informal association with art began in World War I when Colonel John W. Thomason, Jr., produced a powerful series of battlefield sketches. The foundation established by Colonel Thomason continues to define what is expected from a Marine combat artist—they must see what they paint

In 1942, the official Marine Corps Combat Art Program began under the guidance of Brigadier General Robert Denig. His mission was to keep Americans informed of their Marines’ actions overseas. Some of the Marine artists from World War II became well known American painters and sculptors of the 20th century, including Tom Lovell, John Clymer, and Harry Jackson.

The Combat Art Program was disestablished after WWII, enjoyed a short rebirth during the Korean War, and was permanently established under the guidance of Colonel Raymond Henri in 1966. Colonel Henri identified and deployed dozens of Marine and civilian artists to Southeast Asia. John Groth and Major John “Jack” Dyer led the way, and they were followed by other combat artists, such as Howard Terpning, Houston Stiff, and the Corps’ first female civilian combat artist, Trella Koczwara. Many of these artists were successful painters, illustrators, and art professors before they deployed.

Since the Vietnam War, the Marine Corps Art Collection has grown to include over 350 artists and nearly 8,000 works of fine art. Marine Corps combat artists have documented Marine experiences around the globe. All of these Marines were given the same guidance issued to each artist since 1942: “Go to war, do art.” The strength of the collection rests on the authentic and unvarnished focus these artists have on the human condition under the most trying of circumstances—war.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
