To Make the World a Decent Place to Live In, <\/i><\/b>1918<\/span><\/p>\n

Herbert Paus (American, 1880-1946)<\/p>\n

Lithograph on paper<\/p>\n

On loan from the Joseph M. Bruccoli Great War Collection, Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, University of South Carolina<\/p>\n

Herbert Paus became one of the most recognizable artists of World War I. This poster in particular embodies his bold, nationalistic style, and above all carries a weighty message. Paus depicts eight chiseled infantrymen literally \u201cgoing over\u201d into the living hell of war. The contrast of the bitingly bright red representation of fire and brimstone with the muted, almost silhouetted soldiers, visually symbolizes the American military going into the fray of chaos. The soldiers are making the world \u201ca decent place to live in,\u201d and the poster implores the viewer to do his or her part through buying bonds, or risk the red anarchy spreading to America.<\/p>\n
