Portraits of Combat: The World War II Art of Jim Dietz

One of today’s most popular military artists depicts the most compelling personalities of “the greatest generation” as they led the greatest WWII battles of land, sea, and air. Singular moments, from Dunkirk to the D-Day landing to the end of the war and the return to safety, are frozen in time in more than 75 full-color oversize spreads, accompanied by enlargements of details. Background text describes the people and events depicted, as well as the composition of each painting, including phases of a work in progress from original concept to finished piece of art.
