Art in the Face of War is a feature documentary on eight World War II Veterans/Artists who recount their service experience and their use of art for journalism, as a tactical tool and to preserve their own sanity. They served in all theaters of operation and in all branches of the U.S. military, including the once-secret Army division known as The Deception Corps. Their powerful imagery -some done on the spot, some done years later from haunting memories- will enlighten, challenge, even amuse, showing that war is hell but that creativity can exisit in the face of destruction.
