The Stars and Stripes in red, white and blue splendor, and powerful in their simple and bold presentation,
this poster is by some accounts, a forerunner of the series of paintings by Jasper Johns. “The best American
designs utilize the vernacular tradition, the style of the carnival or the parade” (Judd p. 38). This is
the smallest of three formats. Word & Image p. 91, Berman 43, Design for Victory p. 13, Posters for
Victory p. 10, Judd 2.12.
