When the United States entered World War I in April 1917, New York City’s\u00a0artists and illustrators were enlisted in the war effort. \u00a0Many of them worked for\u00a0the federal government\u2019s new Division of Pictorial Publicity. Posters and Patriotism: Selling World War I in New York <\/em>examines the outpouring of posters, flyers, magazine art, sheet music covers, and other mass-produced images created by these\u00a0New Yorkers to stir the American public to wartime loyalty, duty, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n

From the outbreak of the European conflict in 1914, however, New York had also been a city at war with itself\u2014a place where debates about ethnic and racial loyalty, pacifism, the right to side with France, Belgium, and England or Germany, and the very meaning of patriotism spawned impassioned art for a mass audience. In rediscovering a wartime dialogue between images of conformity and dissent, Posters and Patriotism<\/em> showcases over 60 examples from the World War I poster collection donated to the Museum by railroad executive and financier John W. Campbell (1880-1957) in 1943, most being exhibited for the first time, as well as the work of defiant artists in such colorful publications as The Masses,\u00a0<\/em>The Fatherland<\/em>, and Mother Earth<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"\u00a0 One hundred years after the United States entered World War One, the French Embassy seeks to shed light on this momentous occasion through a series of exhibitions, talks, concerts, and screenings beginning in New York City and continuing across the US throughout 2017. The program aims to familiarize younger generations with this transformative moment by exploring the ongoing impact of the cultural and aesthetic upheaval of the period and uncovering untold stories of communities that were instrumental to this critical period of history.<\/p>\n

As the events of this year demonstrate, the friendship between the United States and France has been both central to the preservation of democracy around the world and a driving force behind a long, remarkable history of cultural and artistic creativity. It is our honor to commemorate the sacrifice made by the American soldiers who participated in the war and to celebrate the enduring bond between France and the United States that has helped shape our world over the last hundred years.<\/p>\n

UNIVERSITY RESEARCH ON WWI<\/h3>\n

In fall 2017, a University Road Trip will be organized for six young scholars from France specializing in World War I, during which time they will discuss their research with their peers. Each will start their journey in a key U.S. city including Boston, MA; New York, NY; Raleigh, NC; Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; and Kansas City, MO, where wrap-up experiences, events, and conferences will be open to the public. Further details to come.<\/p>\n

An ambitious project, Marcel Proust\u2019s World War I Letters: A Digital Edition<\/i>, organized by the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign will gather, translate, and digitalize nearly 1,200 letters of Proust\u2019s on WWI. The collection of translated texts will be made available to the public in the Fall 2018.<\/p>\n
