Beskrivelse

“Like their European counterparts during Warld War II, what American posters lost in seriousness and high moral tone they gained in directness of expression, graphic and mass-appealing images, slogans, and satire and humor. The subjects of U.S. posters touched on every aspect of American wartime life – from enlistment in the armed forces to the recyclycling and conservation of resources in the home. The artistic styles reflected a consumer society grown sophisticated in the techniques of advertisning” ( s. 7)
