Camouflaged Nissen Huts

Maurice Galbraith Cullen Β· 1918

Why it's great

Rows of simple huts painted in camouflage patterns stand in a muddy World War I camp. Maurice Cullen was a Canadian official war artist who went to France in 1918. His paintings record what soldiers' daily lives were like. It's a quiet record of wartime.
