ROTHER Bachelor of Arts in English John Carroll University January, 2003 submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree MASTERS OF ARTS IN HISTORY at the CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2008 This thesis has been approved for the Department of ART HISTORY and the College of Graduate Studies by ___________________________________________ Thesis Chairperson, Dr. Samantha Baskind _________________________ Department & Date ____________________________________________ Dr. Marian Bleeke ________________________ Department & Date _____________________________________________ Dr. Elizabeth Lehfeldt ___________________________ Department & Date WORLD WAR I POSTERS AND THE FEMALE FORM: ASSERTING OWNERSHIP OF THE AMERICAN WOMAN LAURA M. ROTHER ABSTRACT Like Britain and continental Europe, the United States would utilize the poster to garner both funding and public support during World War I. While war has historically been considered a masculine endeavor, a relatively large number of these posters depict the female form. Although the use of women in American World War I visual propaganda may not initially seem problematic, upon further inspection it becomes clear that her presence often served to promote racial and national pretentiousness. Based on the works of popular pre-war illustrators like Howard Chandler Christy and Charles Dana Gibson, the American woman was the most attractive woman in the in the world. Her outstanding wit, beauty and intelligence made her the only suitable mate for the supposed racially superior American man. With the onset of war, however, the once entertaining romantic scenarios in popular monthlies and weeklies now represented what America stood to lose, and the “American Girl” would make the transition from magazine illustrations to war poster with minimal alterations.

    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART jl^^l-MS^&D STREET, NEW YORK 19, N. Y. TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EXHIBITION OF AMERICAN BATTLE PAINTING OPENS AT MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Under the auspices of the Armed Services Program of the Museum of Modern Art an exhibition of American Battle Painting; 1776-1918 will be held at the Museum from September 27 through November 12. Planned in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the exhibition reveals the continuing American tradition, from the Revolutionary War through World War I, of the use of artists to record war. For the many contemporary American artists who are now inter­ preting their nation's bitterest struggle, it is hoped that American Battle Painting; 1776-1918 will provide encouragement, as the exhibi­ tion demonstrates the overwhelming documentary value of our visual records of past wars and emphasizes the need of preserving the chronicles made by artists of the present war. The exhibition was assembled by Pvt. Lincoln Kirstein, now in service in France, and by Mrs. Margaret D. Garrett of the staff of the National Gallery in Washington. The exhibition includes paintings by Trumbull, Peale, Eastman Johnson, Winslow Homer, David Blythe, Conrad Wise Chapman, Alfred Sully, Remington, Sargent, Henry N. Walke, Adalbert Johann Volck, Slackens, Peixotto, Wallace Morgan, Harvey T. Dunn, Kerr Eby and others. George Harding, who is now a combat artist with the Marines, is represented by a drawing made when he was an official artist in World War 1. A study for the picture which generations of American school children have known—George Washington Crossing the Delaware—will also be shown.
