Fletcher Martin: The Art of War
In June 2007 I spent a week showcasing the work and career of Fletcher Martin. Among the biographical details we covered was a brief passage about Martin's experience as an artist-correspondent on assignment for Life magazine during W.W. II. I mentioned in passing that his December 1943 cover and 13-page article for Life brought him national recognition. Earlier this year I acquired that issue of Life. On this Remembrance Day (Veteran's Day in the U.S.) I'm pleased to present to you all of the Fletcher Martin material from that issue.

A fitting post for this day, Leif- thank you.
What an interesting style - very muralistic. Like Benton meeting DeChirico. Thank you for sharing this, Leif.
Great posting Leif. If you would like to see the study drawing for the December 27, 1943 cover of Life, it was a recent gift to the Norman Rockwell Museum collections and is currently hanging in a gallery called "Curator's Choice: Selections from the Norman Rockwell Museum Collections."
Thanks, Joyce K. Schiller
