Bombed houses, Caen, Normandy

Will Ogilvie (1901-1989)
Bombed houses, Caen, Normandy, Will Ogilvie, Canadian War Museum, 19710261-4436

It is quite probable that Ogilvie's painting of the bombed city of Caen was influenced by an awareness of British official war artist John Piper's depictions of destroyed buildings.
