The Committee on Public Information (CPI) utilized art as a powerful tool to galvanize American support for World War I by commissioning artists to create posters, illustrations, and other visual media that conveyed patriotic themes and rallied public sentiment. These artworks often depicted heroic soldiers, the valor of the American spirit, and the moral imperative of fighting for democracy, effectively shaping public perception. By disseminating this art widely through various channels, the CPI aimed to foster a sense of unity and urgency among Americans to support the war effort, including enlistment and war bond purchases.
