Besides his trademark I Want You poster, Flagg gained fame as America's premier poster artist. His use of men and women in allegorical settings helped remind the homeland to support our troops during both World Wars.

Good But Small,
By James "University of Utah Student" (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: James Montgomery Flagg: Uncle Sam and Beyond (Vignettes) (Hardcover)
Before ordering this book, notice the listed dimensions. This book is small. Apparently, that is what the series title "Vignettes" is supposed to communicate. I didn't put that together until I received this book in the mail. It was quite a surprise.
Still, this is a good book, and there aren't many books about Flagg and his artwork out there. The illustrations would have benefitted from being bigger, but they do work. I recommend this book--just be aware that it'll be one of the smallest art books in your collection.

The FLAGG Waves On!,
This review is from: James Montgomery Flagg: Uncle Sam and Beyond (Vignettes) (Hardcover)
Short, concise, to-the-point information with wonderfully reproduced portaits of Flagg's work. Flagg had his thumb on the nation's pulse and stayed a few steps ahead of its desires and passions. His work has inspired countless partriots and Americans alike. It did then, does still today, and this book ensures it will tomorrow.
