John Collias
John Collias (born June 12, 1918) is a Western American painter, illustrator, and commercial artist. Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, he has lived and worked in Boise, Idaho, since the early 1940s and has contributed work to the ''Idaho Statesman'', ''Boise Weekly'', ''Life'' Magazine, the ''Gowen Field Beacon'', the Allen Noble Boise State Athletic Hall of Fame, the College of Idaho Athletic Hall of Fame, and to the books ''Sawtooth Tales'' by Dick D’Easum and ''John Collias: Round About the Boise Valley''. Collias’ prolific work spans a number of genres including portraiture, landscape art, wartime military posters, ad and billboard art. He is perhaps best known regionally as the artist behind “A Portrait of A Distinguished Citizen,” a weekly portrait feature that ran in the ''Idaho Statesman'' between the years of 1963 and 1993.

After enlisting in the army, Collias arrived in Boise in 1942 by train from his childhood home of Fort Wayne, IN, to be assigned to the Army Air Corps base at Gowen Field. While stationed at Gowen Field, he and his brother Nick began a regular portrait feature in the base newspaper the ''Gowen Field Beacon'' titled soldier of the week.〔Yancy Miles, ''Gowen Field'' (Google Books), pg. 19〕 The two also penned cartoons and propaganda posters in support of the war effort. One of John Collias’ posters, featuring a bomber pilot admonishing other pilots to “KNOW YOUR AIRCRAFT,” was put into production by the army and posted in all Army Air Corps bases during 1943.〔Nick Collias, ''John Collias: Round About the Boise Valley'', Woolblind Bookworks, 2010, pg. 27〕 Collias was stationed in England at the end of the war, at which time he had the opportunity to witness the iconic moment when many works by old masters such as Rembrandt van Rijn were returned to the walls at the National Gallery of Art in London.〔Nick Collias, ''John Collias'' pg. 29〕
