Colville started as a war artist - kind of like a war photographer. His biographer tells of when he went to Bergen-Belsen after the liberation. There were many dead people and they were being buried in long graves, trenches. He sketched what he saw, but this had a lasting effect on him. His biographer talks about a "code" in his paintings - the placement of people and animals. They are normal scenes but have an odd darkness to them.
