History Uniforms Headgear Insignia Weapons Equipment
• A selection of original art by the troops of World War I
• Covers all aspects of World War I by American, Austrian, Australian, Belgian, British,
Canadian, French, German, and Russian soldier-artists
• A unique window into the history and experiences of World War I
Brushes With War is a unique history of World War I in broad brush strokes. Over 230
original paintings, drawings, sculpture, and trench art by the combatants of World War
I cover all aspects of the war and most major battles from Mons (1914) to the Meuse-
Argonne (1918). The artists were American, Austrian, Australian, Belgian, British, Canadian,
French, German, and Russian soldiers. These were not professional artists, but amateurs
depicting their own daily struggles as they saw them. Just as snapshot photos are often
more realistic than posed professional portraits, these works of art are more genuine
impressions of the war than the official art and illustrations of the time.
Joel R. Parkinson was an engineer who worked on research & development for nuclear
submarines during the Cold War. He is now pastor of Covenant Bible Church and is the
Director & Curator of the World War History & Art Museum (WWHAM) in Alliance, Ohio.
