World War I had a profound impact on American art and culture.
Nearly every major artist responded to events, whether as official
war artists, impassioned observers, or participants on the
battlefields. It was the moment when American artists, designers,
and illustrators began to consider the importance of their
contributions to the wider world and to visually represent the
United States' emergent role in modern global politics. World War I
and American Art provides an unprecedented consideration of the
impact of the conflict on American artists and the myriad ways they
reacted to it. Artists took a leading role in chronicling the war,
crafting images that influenced public opinion, supported
mobilization efforts, and helped to shape how the appalling human
toll was mourned and memorialized. World War I and American Art
features some eighty artists--including Ivan Albright, George
Bellows, Marsden Hartley, Childe Hassam, Violet Oakley, Georgia
O'Keeffe, Man Ray, John Singer Sargent, and Claggett Wilson--whose
paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, posters, and
ephemera span the diverse visual culture of the period to tell the
story of a crucial turning point in the history of American art.
Taking readers from the home front to the battlefront, this
landmark book will remain the definitive reference on a pivotal
moment in American modern art for years to come. Exhibition
