Captain William A. Ogilvie, oil on canvas, 1944

A landscape of devastation on the edge of pictorial abstraction, this work by Captain William A. Ogilvie bears witness to the bombarded town of Caen in Normandy, which was finally liberated by Canadian forces after they spent over a month fighting German troops.
