44. US Army entitled general Policy Reference the Work of Official artists which gave them Over five hundred works were produced by the eight official artists http://www.worldwar1.com/dbc/artists.htm

Official War Artists Corps of Engineers U.S. Army Official War Artists Prisoners and Wounded Unknown Medium Harvey Dunn At this point, the Signal Corps, reconsidering the matter, independently approached Pershing and also asked for the commissioning of four artists to work under Signal Corps direction. Pershing wired Washington that he would accept four additional men. To avoid confusion, however, it was decided that all of the men would be commissioned as Captains in the Engineer Reserve Corps. That's a polite way of saying the Engineers won the bureaucratic battle with the Signal Corps for control of the artists. Ultimately, eight men were selected and officially charged with producing art which would help document the A.E.F. war efforts. Much of the material presented here comes from the book, Art from the Trenches The United States Army in World War I . The eight official artists averaged about forty years of age when they were commissioned; four were married and two of them already had children when they joined the army. Half of them had traveled extensively before the war, with three of them living in France and Europe for some time. Six of the men had worked primarily as magazine and book illustrators, one as an architect, and one was nearly a "pure" artist. Only one of the eight had prior military training. J. Andre Smith was already a first lieutenant in the Engineers at the time of his selection; the others were civilians. Smith was the first to report for duty in France on 15 March 1918 and served as officer-in-charge of the artists. The other seven arrived shortly thereafter, having been sent to France almost immediately after receiving their commissions. In one case, their military training consisted of about a five-minute briefing.

More in Art.... Art Review Irony Lives This year's polite, eclectic Whitney Biennial featuring less painting than ever demonstrates that post-September 11 reports of the death of irony were greatly exaggerated. By Mark Stevens Mix and match : Julie Moos's (Photo credit: courtesy of Whitney Museum of Modern Art) A t every Whitney Biennial , I think of the poet Randall Jarrell's waspish definition of the novel: a work in prose of a certain length that has something wrong with it. And yet if it's inevitable that the Biennial "has something wrong with it" and we would be strangely disappointed if it did not the exhibition regularly displays certain prosy virtues. Every two years, the Biennial, like a novel of manners, holds up a mirror to the fashionable subjects, approaches, and attitudes of its day. The 2002 model carries on this tradition. Organized by a team led by the Whitney's new curator of contemporary art, Lawrence Rinder, the show includes work by 113 artists and collaborative groups from across the country. It fills three floors of the museum; five of the artists have pieces in Central Park. Many forms of contemporary art are on display notably, extensive collections of Internet-based work and sound and performance art. While browsing through the galleries, you will come upon flickering TV and computer monitors; hear various whines, buzzes, and snatches of music; and walk into rooms where something, you know not what, awaits.

A few of our artists from the past are commemorated on other websites. Robert Sivell William Robson Dorothy L Sayers More D.L. Sayers ... The Faeds Please click to email me if you know of any others. " In Kirkcudbright one either fishes or paints.... " So said Dorothy L. Sayers in the introduction to Five Red Herrings (1931), which she based on her regular visits to the town's artistic community in the 1920s. She may well have had the artist William Robson in mind, remembering his enthusiasm for fly fishing and field sports in general. Kirkcudbright was then home to distinguished artists, of whom E.A. Hornel, Jessie M. King and her husband, E.A. Taylor, and Charles Oppenheimer were the most prominent. It was also the summer haunt of visiting artists, such as S.J. Peploe, the Scottish Colourist, and Robert Burns, Head of Painting at Edinburgh College of Art. It was Burns who said that no student's training was complete without a stay with the Taylors in Kirkcudbright. Many examples of the works of these famous artists of the past are still to be found in the town. The story of the town's artists is told in the Tolbooth Art Centre, and their work can be seen there, and in the Hornel Art Gallery and the Stewartry Museum. But this is a never-ending story, for a remarkable number of artists and craftworkers are still resident in Kirkcudbright and the surrounding area. The work of the current generation can be seen in exhibitions in the town's galleries, and some of the artists themselves can sometimes be seen at work in the studios in the Tolbooth Art Centre.

We are seeking a culture which may well be less materially based but where more people will actively participate and gain power to celebrate moments that are wonderful and significant in their lives. We advocate a role for art that weaves it more fully into the fabric of our lives; that allows us to be collaborators rather than spectators: Building our own houses, naming our children, burying our dead, announcing partnerships, marking anniversaries, creating new sacred spaces and producing whatever drama, stories, songs, ceremonies, pageants and jokes that are relevant to these new values and iconography. We design and construct performances that are specific to place, people and occasion.
