If you recall, Goranson worked with E.J. Hugues and Orville Fisher in the late 1930s after they graduated from the Vancouver School of Art. All three would become war artists: “In 1939 Hughes enlisted in the RCA as a gunner. Appointed a war artist in 1940, he was posted to Petawawa, Ontario, and in 1942, to England.” Fellow muralist Orville Fisher had joined the Royal Canadian Engineers in August of 1940. In fact, Jack Shadbolt also followed them into combat; “he enlisted in the army as a signalman on 28 October 1942.” More at: Illustrated Vancouver, Jack Shadbolt (left) and Paul Goranson (right)...
