#soldier artist

The Reading Room will be closed on Monday, May 28 for Memorial Day. In the meantime, please enjoy these images for Let the Artist Speak: Teacher’s Broadcast Handbook. This mimeographed handbook accompanied a series of broadcasts on Chicago’s WIND radio station that were designed to interest 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade students in art. Here you see the cover, the credit page for the cover design, and a page of text and two images associated with the “Soldier Artists: Art in the Camps” broadcast that aired on January 6, 1943.

Please come in to view this and other works about art and the armed forces when our reading room re-opens at 1:00 on Tuesday, May 29. Thank you to all those artists who have served and who continue to serve our country.
