1945 EXHIBITION ADVERTISING Art Witha Purpose I Art which has nothing to say cannot be great art. The art presented in this exhibition has much to say. This is no inarticulate art. The primary function of advertising art is to move people, make them do things, buy things, and believe in the message presented. Art with such a purpose could never be uninteresting. The art presented in this exhibition has already been seen in printed form by millions. These millions have cast their ballots in favor of this art into the cash registers of our business world. Artists have become a definite part of our industry, they stimulate sales and the manufacturing of products which might otherwise never be produced . The artists today are playing a key part in the task of keeping alive the reputations of manufacturers and their products which might otherwise have been lost during the war. Advertising art in the post war era will carry the new load of making even greater sales and the marketing of new products, creating more jobs and a greater prosperity. The part of the artist in our economic life has never been measured and seldom mentioned because we take it for granted that art moves people. From the earliest religious paintings to today's blood bank posters artists have produced Art with a Purpose. HAROLD C. JENSEN, Pres.
