Victory is a Question of Stamina
Victory is a Question of Stamina
"The War Department asked the Division [of Pictorial Publicity] to recommend eight artists to accompany the Army to Europe to document the fighting and the sacrifices of America's doughboys. Among those chosen were Wallace Morgan and Harvey Dunn, whose work from the front was often used in the posters... This was the first time in any American war that colorful, patriotic posters were used to help win it, or that the fine arts were officially recognized for a role in achieving victory" (Rawls, p. 167-168). Here, Dunn's experience on the front lines adds a palpable intensity to the message of providing "fuel" for fighters.
