Carline served in World War I and was appointed an Official War Artist. With his brother he became noted for war pictures from the air. In the 1920s the Carlines’ Hampstead home became a centre for artists such as Henry Lamb, John Nash and Mark Gertler. During this period Carline was clearly influenced by Stanley Spencer, transforming everyday scenes into something monumental.
