Canvas of War

Painting the Canadian Experience, 1914 to 1945

From the vaults of the Canadian War Museum comes this selection of 110 seldom-seen images from the First and Second World Wars, drawn from a collection that includes over 13,000 paintings and drawings that chronicle Canada’s military history. From battlegrounds in the air, on land and at sea, on the home front and abroad, the country’s finest artists—including A. Y. Jackson, Arthur Lismer, Mabel May, Frederick Varley and later Alex Colville, Charles Comfort, Pegi Nicol McLeod and Jack Shadbolt—recorded Canada’s experience of war.
