War and Memory

Paul Gavin Fine Art On June 6, 1944, the world held its breath as over a half-million men from all over the world converged on 65 miles of the Normandy, France, coast to free Europe from Hitler's grip. In 1984 I felt the need to be there for the 40th Anniversary of D-Day, and painted throughout France for the month of June.
