EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Major Augustus John in uniform at the close of the First World War. John, a renowned British painter and notorious Bohemian, was among the artists commissioned to document the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. At the time, his most recent notable work was a vast cartoon, titled "Canadians Opposite Lens: Winter 1917-18," a panoramic grey drawing of the Canadians in the trenches during the winter of 1917-18. This powerful piece was on exhibition at the Canadian War Memorial Exhibition held at Burlington House. John's artistic talents extended beyond the battlefield, as he was also known for his portraits and figurative works. His unconventional lifestyle and artistic brilliance made him a prominent figure in the art world during this tumultuous period in history. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the life of a major artist during the aftermath of the Great War.
