Biography of this New Zealand war artist famous for his paintings of the Gallipoli landscape and Private Simpson and his donkey

Horace Moore-Jones’s most recognised work is of Simpson and his Donkey.  He altered the composition of the photo to make for a more dramatic drawing.

War artists were allowed close to the battles to sketch, and their images were expected to advance patriotic goals.
