About the piece

Created in 1917 during A. Y. Jackson's time as an official war artist, 'House of Ypres' depicts the skeletal remains of a building in the aftermath of battle. Jackson uses a rich, textured palette of earth tones and a surprising flash of interior green to create a grounded, atmospheric scene that reflects his influential style as a future member of the Group of Seven.
