'I felt physically sick from the pit of my stomach and to be honest
was now feeling vulnerable and completely outside my depth of
knowledge. The world had seemingly gone mad and I was having
visions of the base now being ransacked; I was confused and unsure
what to do. My solution was to do the only thing that I could do. I
climbed the nearest sangar and started to draw.' Jules George The
book also features the work of four other war artists in
Afghanistan: Douglas Farthing, a former Sergeant Major in the
British paratroopers; and Michael Fay, soldier-turned-combat artist
for the United States Marine Corps; Arabella Dorman,
internationally recognised portrait painter and war artist; and
Matthew Cook, trained illustrator, former Times war artist and
Territorial Army solider. Each artist's work is accompanied by
their own, first-hand account of war in Afghanistan. Jules George,
war artist, travelled to Helmand, Afghanistan, in 2010, in the wake
of its bloodiest year for British troops. War Artists in
Afghanistan: Beyond the Wire reproduces the remarkable sketches,
watercolours and oil paintings born of his experiences with the 2nd
Yorkshires (Green Howards). His work captures the vast scale and
stunning, fertile beauty of the Afghan landscape, and in its midst,
the British soldier, out on patrol, boarding a Chinook or caught in
a firefight.
