About this event
American Stories Curator Talks
Service and Sacrifice – Chief Curator Stephanie Haboush Plunkett will describe how during times of war artists and illustrators have worked as reporters, makers of propaganda, and mythmakers. This session will consider the ethical responsibilities of artists – including Norman Rockwell and J. C. Leyendecker – involved in wartime image production and will pose questions about memory, accountability, and the relevance of wartime imagery in our society.
