During World War II more than 100 U.S. servicemen and civilians served as "combat artists", recording what they experienced in ink and paint. I think it is really cool that they did this! I can't imagine being able to, I guess, be focused enough to do this, but art must truly be their outlet. The Battle of Midway was a decisive American victory and turning point in the war in the Pacific--and here we have someone's impression of what it looked like.I can see a person and part of a Japanese plane, or at least flag in the water. The sharp contrast and the rough strokes really give me a feeling of panic and fear, like this is war.
