Canvas of War, The Art of World War II
During World War II, a select group of Canadian artists created thousands of powerful paintings. Canvas of War is a documentary about these images and of the war artists who went into combat to paint them. It is a highly visual and personal account of their experiences on the swa, in the air and on the battlefields of World War II.

No Mans Land
This program features a powerful collection of war paintings by Canadian artist Mary Riter Hamilton. This remarkable woman spent three years in the battlefields of Europe after First World War Armistice to paint the scenes of destruction left behind by the war. She dedicated her work to the Canadian soldiers who fought and died in the 'Great War'. The haunting images on her canvasses are combined with archival footage of war-torn Europe. Describes the life and legacy of an artist largely unknown in her own country. Part of the Never Again! series.
