Camp Northampton, Second World War charcoal sketch

1940-45

About the Item

Anonymous Camp Northampton Charcoal sketch 34 x 43 cm At first glance, this charcoal sketch seemingly depicts three barns lining a country lane. The scene seems idyllic, trees and farmland forming a rural idyll. The caption of the sketch 'Camp Northampton' reveals it to be, however, a depiction of one of the seven Prisoner of War camps in Northamptonshire. These camps primarily housed German pilots who would work in the adjacent fields to support the farming industry. Some of these camps still stand today, their wooden shells acting as eery reminders of this dark past.

Olive Grove with Hills in the Distance - Charcoal Drawing, Greek Island, Country
By George Tzannes
Located in New York, NY
This 17.5 x 35 inches black and white chalk drawing on paper represents a Greek landscape. Two olive trees are in the foreground, with the countryside extending behind in the distant horizon.

By Michele Zalopany
Located in New York, NY
At the center of this large-scale black and white charcoal and pastel painting, a diver launches himself from untold heights, frozen at the peak of action against an ecstatic plume of clouds. Zalopany excels at painting with light, often abstracting areas of a composition with explosions of brush strokes and impossibly smooth blending.
