Art in WW2

Combat artists captured the realities of war

In WW2, combat artists captured the realities of war by capturing images of the horrors and complexities of the conflict. These artists often took photographs of the war in close quarters and embedded themselves with the units they were assigned. One of these artists was Orville Fisher, who strapped a waterproof pad of paper to his wrist and sketched the battle on D-Day.

They also documented the war and created thousands upon thousands of pieces of artwork that were later published in magazines or publications. Many of these artworks were also on display in the United States. These works covered various battles and actions that took place in Europe and the Pacific. They often included captions to describe the events captured in the images.

Artists for Victory Group

Artists for Victory in WW2 was an international non-profit group that brought together more than 10 000 artists to help in the war effort. To promote the war effort, the group worked in partnership with businesses and government agencies. This group was formed to assist the United States win war.

The group was created by artists to combat the evils of philistinism and use their artistic skills to aid the war effort. The group was the first of its kind and pledged to produce five millions hours of art for war efforts.

Looted Art

Many pieces of art taken by Nazis during World War II are now back with their rightful owners. The case of the Nudes In A Landscape by Pierre Auguste Renoir revealed that the painting was taken from the family a German Jewish banker. Hugo Simon, who was also a banker and art collector, received the painting back.

While most of the art stolen during WW2 has been returned, many pieces remain in bad hands. Many of these pieces were shipped to the USSR during World War II. Fortunately, Russia is legally obliged to return them. These works are located in Moscow museums. The Polish government intends to submit seven additional restitution requests for Russia.

After the war, objects recovered

Many resources are available to determine the provenance and history of art objects. The National Gallery of Art has performed extensive research into the history of art objects. Their efforts focused on the World War II period and they have unearthed numerous links between art objects and their owners. It also provides extensive archival references as well as wartime histories that make it easy to trace the object's origin.

There are three main collections of objects recovered after the war. These collections consist of a mix cultural and historical objects that were taken or traded. The Nazis stole cultural property, including Jewish property. To identify the most valuable collections, they used systematic methods. Some artifacts that were seized were eventually returned by the owners to their rightful owners. But many are still missing.

Donated objects to USSR

The National Archives of the United States recently released a CDROM, which documents the transfer of cultural heritage from the United States of America to the Soviet Union. It includes facsimile inventories of approximately half a millenial cultural objects. These cultural treasures were most likely taken by the Nazis and sent to Germany. The Soviet copies of these items don't exist in Russia’s archives.

These items were used by the USSR to aid its war effort. Over 25 million Soviet citizens lost their lives in the battle against Nazi Germany during WW2. Despite numerous defeats during the first 18 months, the Soviet Union rebuilt its army and marched to Berlin. The United States provided enormous economic and military aid to the Soviet Union to support the war effort.

FAQ

What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?

We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.

The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.

Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.

Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.

Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. The capillaries are tiny blood vessels that can be seen on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.

Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.

Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. To do this, doctors will insert a needle through your skin into the vein adjacent to the injury. This allows blood drainage from the injury area.

Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.

Is there an Hollywood blacklist?

There is a Hollywood blacklist.

But, the list has not been made public. According to our knowledge, the names of these people aren't known. It matters because of this.

The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. They could go bankrupt.

This could mean more victims.

When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.

You hear stories of directors being pressured to remove scenes from films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.

This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. That's bad for everyone.

It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.

We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. We need to ensure everyone has the right of expression.

We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.

Why do actors get blacklisted?

If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. An actor will probably be rejected quite often. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.

Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. However, most actors aren't interested in making money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. Actors are likely to be outspoken.

Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. You might also lose your audition for a film role. This happens all the time.

However, once you have been cast, it is possible to face criticism. You may be told that your makeup is too heavy or you are not worthy of wearing it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.

Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. You could be a gay actor and everyone assumes you are straight. Perhaps you play a woman that is supposed to be strong but who cries a lot.

Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like either a boy or a girl. They usually want you sound better.

It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors feel like they've failed when told they did wrong. However, they aren't doing anything wrong.

They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. Sometimes, no matter what they do, they just don't fit the bill.

Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Others believe actors cheat.

Whatever your reason, it doesn't matter. You won't get blacklisted for trying. There are plenty of roles out there, and you'll find them.

If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.

What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?

Hollywood is filled with secret societies. Some secret societies are cultlike groups that have strict rules and rituals. Other clubs are for people who share common interests.

However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. There are companies like the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), who sets film ratings and the RIAA, which sets music licensing fees.

Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.

It doesn't really matter how secretive an organization may appear, there is always someone who knows exactly what they do. They shouldn't be fearful, however.

Instead, embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.

These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.

These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.

We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.

We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.

They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.

Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.

You'll see why they are so important.
