World War I and American Art

World War I has been described as “America’s forgotten war.” Few art historians have investigated its importance to American art and artists in part because the United States entered the war late. As we approach the centenary of the nation’s entry into the war, much has been reevaluated about its impact on American culture. Join Robert Cozzolino as he discusses how American artists reacted and contributed to WWI.

Robert Cozzolino, PhD, is Mia’s Patrick and Aimee Butler Curator of Paintings.
