Over Here, Over Here! U.S. Propaganda & the Arts of WWI
MCKIE AND FARMER GALLERIES
This centennial commemoration of U.S. entry into WWI (1917–1918) documents the propaganda techniques utilized by federal, state and local governments to create united support by all Americans for entry into the European conflict. Propaganda in the form of newspapers, pamphlets, public addresses, newsreels and films, posters, artwork, and music contributed to the public’s understanding of their involvement in the war. Highlights of this exhibition include J.M. Flagg’s iconic poster of Uncle Sam, I Want You
for U.S. Army, and song sheet art by Norman Rockwell.
