George Kennerknecht (Kenner)Interment : Prison Of War Camp, Blackdown, Frith Hill, Near Aldershot

George Kenner (born Georg Kennerknecht in 1888, Bavaria) was a talented German commercial artist who moved to London in 1910. During World War I, he was interned in Britain as an "enemy alien" and created over 100 remarkable paintings and drawings depicting life inside internment camps. After the war, he returned to Germany, later emigrating to the United States, where he continued his career as a commercial artist. Kenner’s internment artworks remain an important visual record of civilian life during wartime captivity.
