BROWSE ARTWORKS
World War Two
In January 1941 General Freyberg appointed Peter McIntyre as New Zealand’s Official War Artist.
From 1941 - 45 McIntyre chronicled the activities of the 2nd NZEF throughout Crete, North Africa, Tripoli and at Cassino.
McIntyre would sketch relatively close to the frontlines, and would later work up his paintings from these sketches. These works were frequently published in magazines such as Illustrated London News, Studio and the New Zealand Listener. McIntyres artworks as Official War Artist were an important part of ANZAC reporting during the War.
