CHARLES COINER GIVE IT YOUR BEST. 1942

The Stars and Stripes in their red, white and blue splendor. Powerful in its simple and bold presentation, by some accounts a forerunner of the series of paintings by Jasper Johns. "The best American designs utilise the vernacular tradition, the style of the carnival or the parade" (Judd p. 38). This is the smaller version. Word & Image p. 91, Berman 43, Design for Victory p. 13, Posters for Victory p. 10, Judd 2.12.
