 ff;">First in Series of Library Events to Mark World War I Centennial</h4><
 p>"World War I: American Artists View the Great War" features fine prints, 
 drawings, cartoons, posters and photographs from the Library of Congress's 
 Prints and Photographs Division. The works on display reflect the focus of 
 wartime art on patriotic and propaganda messages—by government-supported as
  well as independent and commercial artists.</p><p>Located in the Graphic A
 rts Galleries on the ground floor of the Library’s Thomas Jefferson Buildin
 g, 10 First St. S.E., Washington, D.C., the exhibition is free and open to 
 the public <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 
 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Mond
 ay through Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m</strong>. It is made possible by
  the Swann Foundation for Caricature and Cartoon, and is the first in a ser
 ies of events the Library is planning in connection with the centennial of 
 the United States’ entry into World War I. An online version of the exhibit
 ion is available at <a href="http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/american-artists-v
 iew-the-great-war/">loc.gov/exhibits/american-artists-view-the-great-war/</
 a>.<br /><br />Many of the artists featured in the exhibition worked for th
 e federal government’s Division of Pictorial Publicity, a unit of the Commi
 ttee on Public Information. Led by Charles Dana Gibson, a preeminent illust
 rator, the division focused on promoting recruitment, bond drives, home-fro
 nt service, troop support and camp libraries. Many images advocated for Ame
 rican involvement in the war and others encouraged hatred of the German ene
 my. In less than two years, the division’s 300 artists produced more than 1
 ,400 designs, including some 700 posters.<br /> Heeding the call from Gibso
 n to "Draw ‘til it hurts," hundreds of leading American artists created wor
 ks about the Great War (1914–1918). Although the United States participated
  as a direct combatant in World War I from 1917 to 1918, the riveting poste
 rs, cartoons, fine art prints and drawings on display chronicle this massiv
 e international conflict from its onset through its aftermath.<br /> Among 
 those who heeded the call were James Montgomery Flagg (best known for his p
 ortrayal of Uncle Sam), Wladyslaw Benda, George Bellows, Joseph Pennell and
  William Allen Rogers. In contrast, such artists as Maurice Becker, Kerr Eb
 y and Samuel J. Woolf drew on their personal experiences to depict military
  scenes on the front lines as well as the traumatic treatment of conscienti
 ous objectors. Finally, cartoonists offered both scathing criticism and gen
 tle humor, as shown in Bud Fisher’s comic strip "Mutt and Jeff."<br /> Phot
 ography also provided essential communication during the First World War. T
 he selected images detail the service of soldiers, nurses, journalists and 
 factory workers from the home front to the trenches. American Red Cross pho
 tographs by Lewis Hine and others employ artful documentation to capture th
 e challenges of recovery and rebuilding in Europe after the devastation of 
 war.</p>
