George A. Finley is one of the best known artists of contemporary United States military subjects today. His reputation began during his cadet years at West Point when his illustrations appeared regularly in The Pointer, the cadet literary publication. Soon after graduation from the Military Academy in 1960, he began to publish his now famous series of military caricatures. This work, which is often based upon his own military experiences, features branches, specialties and activities of the United States Army. Among the most popular caricatures are "The Commander", "Where the Action is", "Service with a Heart - the Military Wife", and his aviation series. George retired from active duty in 1983 and lives as a full time artist in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany, and Boston, Massachusettes. He has had one-man shows of his fine art throughout Europe and in the United States. Since 1988, he has painted military scenes featuring the US Army in Europe, as well as landscapes in Germany and Scotland, and has recently focused on painting non-representational art.
