Canada
Canada hired 32 official war artists. It also awarded independent commissions, in particular to women artists. The resulting artworks were intended to form a comprehensive documentary record, respectful both of history and art, and accurate in all details. Official instructions required each artist to produce paintings in specific quantities and sizes.
