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 circums ...More...

2007 photos: Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it. Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler. Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." I became a volunteer photographer at both Sixth and I Historic Synagogue and the Civil War Preservation Trust (later renamed "Civil War Trust").. Number of photos taken this year: 225,000.
