James Montgomery Flagg is best known for depicting Uncle Sam in recruitment and public service announcement posters of both World War I and II. You Can Lick Runaway Prices? Features a new painting created by Flagg in c.1942. The poster emphasizes seven steps that the average American could take to prevent inflation. Among these points include significant themes of buying war bonds, conservation, and food rationing. The seven steps correspond to the seven letters that spell Victory. The imagery references Flagg's iconic I Want You poster with artistic changes. Flagg's Uncle Sam imagery carries high-profile notoriety among the public and poster collectors alike.
James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960) began his illustration career at the age of 12, with contributions to Life magazine by age 14. He studied in New York at the Art Students League and in London and Paris. He worked in various illustration styles in publishing and became the top-paid illustrator at the height of his career. Flagg is best known for his patriotic recruitment posters. His most famous, I Want You, features Uncle Sam. Flagg modeled the portrait of Uncle Sam on himself, only adding a goatee and white hair. The poster was wildly successful, reaching over four million copies produced during World War I alone. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.

James Montgomery Flagg
James Montgomery Flagg was a prodigious illustrator, working as a contributing artist to Life magazine at the surprisingly young age of 14. Flagg was born on June 18, 1877, in the Village of Pelham. He is most famous for creating the first image of the fictional Uncle Sam. His ‘I Want You’ lithographed image of Uncle Sam was published in 1917, during the First World War. It is storied that Flagg used his own image as the model for Uncle Sam, imagining himself as a much older man and with facial hair. Flagg died on May 27, 1960, in New York.

"Arab Children, " Portrait of Two Figures Lithograph signed by Fletcher Martin
By Fletcher Martin
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Arab Children" is an original lithograph by Fletcher Martin. The artist signed the piece lower right. This piece features two young children--a boy and a girl--with downcast eyes in draped fabric clothes in an interior.
12" x 8" art
22" x 18" frame
Fletcher Martin was an American painter, illustrator, muralist and educator. He is best known for his images of soldier life during World War II and his sometimes brutal images of boxing and other sports. His artistic skills were largely self-taught.
He worked as a printer in Los Angeles in the late 1920s, and as an assistant to Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros in the early 1930s. He taught at local art schools such as Otis Art Institute.
He won commissions to paint murals for the New Deal's Section of Painting and Sculpture, including Mail Transportation (1938), painted for the San Pedro Federal Building and Post Office in Los Angeles. Under the WPA he painted a mural study for the Kellogg, Idaho post office titled Mine Rescue (1939). Local industrialists objected that it depicted the dangers of mining, while officials of the Mine & Smelt Workers Union praised it. The industrialists prevailed and Martin painted an uncontroversial mural, Discovery (1941), depicting the prospector who founded the town. The rejected mural study is now in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Perhaps his most ambitious mural, also done under the WPA, was painted for North Hollywood High School in Los Angeles. Legends of Fernandino and Gabrileno Indians (1937) depicts overlapping scenes of Native American life and ritual, and the world being carried on the backs of giants.
As an artist-correspondent for Life Magazine during World War II, he made hundreds of sketches of U.S. soldier life. Fourteen of his paintings from the North African campaign were published in the December 27, 1943 issue of Life, and brought him national recognition. Among these was Boy Picking Flowers...
