rNGI.ANDS greatest war artist Is
II. caton Woodville. In his own
- land he has been called 'The Kip
ling of the Brush" The title is not inn
pertinent. No war painter OF the cen
tury has impaired more truth, more
realism and more dramatic action TO
stirring deeds on canvas than has this
man. Every hair OF his brush must
have been plucked from the head OF the
war god himself. for he shows the bat
tlefield as II was never shown before.
His pictures OF the South African cam
paign have been the best pictures deal
ing with the struggle between the Boer
and Britisher that have been sent back
from the front. His drawings have ap-
peared in many English and American
publications. and perhaps no pencil has
done more than his TO show the outside
world Just what war is at short range.
Military art is essentially cosmopol-
itan i'm its manifestations, and again
and again this British battle painter
has shown. just as did his French rival.

enemies as he is To the heroism OF the
British themselves.

Frederick and his staff riding into
