VII. Paintings

John DePol made sketches onsite in Augsberg and Kaufbeuren, Germany, in the summer and fall of 1945, just as the War ended. He later painted these in water colors. He signed all of them “DePol” and dated them “1945,” and on a select few supplied additional details, noted below. In 2010, fifteen of these paintings were framed and hung in the Alexander Library on one of the walls in student lounge on the basement level of the new building.
