I tried posting to the other thread but it has gone all wonky and won't let me access the second page. So I'll post here instead. I suppose it must be this, as it is the only painting I have taken the trouble to purchase in fridge magnet form:
Pablo Picasso's "Guernica." |

Assuming that "artworks" include sculpture, I'd have to say that some of the finest military art is done in this medium. The figures on the Viet Nam memorial and the Royal Tank Regiment memorial both convey a very strong impression of a group of mates standing together. The Iwo Jima memorial translates an iconic photo that to my mind captures the very essence of the Marine Corps spirit, "gung ho", working together, and never mind the difficulties. The statue of the "Yomper" outside the Royal Marines Museum shows less movement, but still seeme to me to capture the essence of the Marines' achievement in the Falklands, based on the essential infantry ability to be able to go anywhere, and take your rifle with you. Are we only allowed five? Hard to pick which should get the fifth slot. I am very fond of Jagger's Royal Artillery Memorial, but I also quite like the statue of "Johnnie" Walker at the Western Approaches museum, full of animation, and wearing his favourite waistcoat, patched together for him by schoolchildren. I am also quite fond of the lady on the so-called "Uxbridge Peace Memorial"; the local council insist that she represents the "goddess of peace", whoever that may be, but anyone old enough to have the merest smattering of the classics will see at once that she's Nike, the goddess of victory, bearing the traditional victor's chaplet, a wreath of immortelles. Then again, "artworks" could include poems… "We are the pilgrims, master,
We will go always a little further;
For it may be beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow,
Across that angry or that glimmering sea,
White on a throne or guarded in a cave,
There lives a prophet who can tell why men were born;
But surely we are brave
Who take the Golden Road to Samarkand." All the best, John. |

Omemin,
Note the halfbreed mounting his horse from the right. Charlie Russell is one of my three favorite artists. |
paints grey horses - specifically, dapple greys.
