Known especially for her work as a War Artist, Evelyn Dunbar’s career included murals and illustration. that are often quirky and gently humorous.

And, for a brilliant novel based on women artists working through World War II, there is none better than Alicia Foster’s “War Paint” which, albeit fictionally, especially illuminates Evelyn Dunbar’s art.
