H.R. Hopps, Destroy This Mad Brute--Enlist, 1917
This category of work falls under a drawing. Here the artist uses darker colors to depict an almost evil appearance. The forms in the piece are realistic. Upon viewing the art, I felt as if I were being warned and I should be fearful.
Here the Germans are depicted as uncivilized and barbaric apes that only know how to destroy things. In the ape's hand is a club that reads "kulture," meaning culture in English. This symbolizes outside views on German culture and how they believe that it is brutal and primitive.
Charles Buckles Falls, Learn to Make and Test the Big Guns, 1919
This category of work falls under the drawing category. The artist uses lighter colors to give off an inviting vibe. When I first saw the poster, felt impartial because I do not find it particularly visually appealing.
This poster was used to draw men in to the Ordnance Department. The poster appealed to the men in the sense that it made them think that they would be able to utilize the skills they learned for their futures
