About the Item

An interesting piece of World War II Militaria consisting of a chalk sketch or drawing of three US Military personnel in combat with guns in hand riding on what appears to be a 1943 Ford M20 Armored Command Vehicle. The last photo in the photo gallery is of such an actuak vehicle. The sketch is signed M Russeau dated 45 ( for 1945) and is presented in a glass fronted simple black frame The drawing was acquired from an Antiques and Art Auction in Belgium and could have very well been executed by the artist "live" in the first few months of 1945. This of course is speculative . Between June 1944 and May, 1945, there were more than half a million U.S. casualties in the European theater of operations. Of those, 105000 were killed in action. In January 1945 , U.S. Army soldiers were still battling against German forces that had launched the Battle of the Bulge. the last major German offensive on the Western Front during World War II. That battle was the largest the U.S. Army ever fought and out of the 90,000 casualties around 19,000 soldiers were killed.

The Road to Abstraction by Judith Myers
By Judith Myers
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
Acquired from 2011 Solo exhibition at a gallery in Vancouver Canada titled "The Road to Abstraction " by mixed-media artist Judith Myers. This exhibition of works is the inspired result of a recent trip to Holland where she participated in a workshop on a canal boat studying in depth the history of the Dutch Masters and practicing traditional techniques using contemporary materials. Judith Myers was born in Toronto, Canada and trained in Modern dance before embarking on a career in visual art. Her passion for the abstract expressionists gave inspiration to move to Europe in 1980 where the artistic ambiance was prevalent and conducive for a Canadian to study and integrate with the artists of the European community. Arriving in Amsterdam with a background in teaching modern dance was the introduction that paved the way to being welcomed into learning ceramics, drawing, painting and mixed media. It took only a short time before her work was on display in exhibitions in Holland, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. She is presently living and working in Vancouver, British Columbia Exhibition History 2013 Tate Gallery, Port Hope...
