Through the eyes of seven World War II artists, They Drew Fire shows an intimate and often startling look at combat, and the task of transforming the horrors of war into stark, revealing, enduring works of art.  Soldiers, sailors, and airmen created more than 12,000 works of art.  The artwork, commissioned by the U.S. government, has been hidden away in dusty military archives, unseen since the war, until now.  Most of the artists were trained for combat and carried weapons.  They stormed the beaches in the South Pacific, accompanied our men into Normandy, and fought with the ground troops in France and Italy.
