Samuel Woolf's Eyewitness Drawing
Samuel J. Woolf worked as a visual war correspondent at the front in Beaumont-Hamel, France, where he made compelling eye-witness drawings. In addition to working as an artist, he worked as a cook, drove an ambulance, and endured some of the same privations as soldiers and personally suffered the horror of a gas attack. This poignant drawing suggests how firsthand experience informed his art. Woolf studied with Kenyon Cox and George de Forest Brush at the Art Students League and National Academy of Design and had a long career with Time magazine. |
