Traffic To Mont-St. Pere by George Matthews Harding. Note: French infantrymen and “Doughboys” of the Army’s 3d Division pack the road to Mont St. Père as disconsolate German prisoners trudge to the rear past trucks filled with advancing American Soldiers. Almost abstract in composition, George Harding’s densely populated painting recording the Allied counter-offensive across the Marne in July 1918 gives the viewer a sense of the confusion and disorder faced by Soldiers in combat, even in moments of victory. After the war, Harding returned to his job as an art professor at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (United States Army Center of Military History).
