About Us

David Cohen Fine Art was founded in 1984 and specialises in paintings, drawings and sculpture from the Great War, 1914-1918.

David Cohen has had five major art exhibitions, the two most recent of these were held at the National Army Museum in London. He sells worldwide to museums and regiments as well as to private collectors and his collection represents an important part of the history of the Great War. Within the website, there are landscapes showing the devastation wrought by war and everyday scenes of army life in and out of the trenches and on the Home Front. Portraits and sculpture are also included together with moments of humour in the cartoons drawn from the grim nature of life at the front.

386202 Acting Sergeant HERBERT GIBSON, M.M.
1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance,
Royal Army Medical Corps.

We have a collection of postcards that “Bert” sent to his girl friend, Cissi Bell who lived at 5 Curtis Road, Fenham, Newcastle on Tyne. They were drawn mainly on plain postcards - British, French and German. The drawings gave an often humourous picture to those at home of life in the trenches which, perhaps, if put into words would not always have passed the censor. Herbert and Cissi never married, but Herbert survived the war. A sad end to the story, but a fortunate man to come out of the war alive.

LUDOVIC-RODOLPHE PISSARRO

(1878-1952)

A selection of paintings by LUDOVIC-RODOLPHE (RODO) PISSARRO (1878-1952). Ludovic-Rodolphe Pissarro was born in Paris on the 21st November 1878 and was Camille Pissarro's fourth son. He soon became known as Rodo and usually signed his work Ludovic-Rodo. Rodo is perhaps most remembered today by art historians for undertaking the cataloguing of his father's work, a project which took him more than twenty years. We, however, must thank him for giving us this wonderful collection of images which are evocative, witty and utterly enchanting. You will see that they are all small snapshots of the life and people on the Home Front that Rodo saw in and around London during the First World War.
