Caption label from exhibit "World War I ...": C.F. Chambers Portrays Veteran Empowerment. With the war's end, the American Red Cross continued to support returning veterans through programs that included psychiatric care and rehabilitation for disabled veterans. Despite a series of legislative acts that stipulated vocational training for honorably discharged veterans, bureaucratic difficulties hampered the provision of services. This optimistic poster accentuates empowerment, with a strong support system behind an amputee veteran standing poised to enter a bright future. The image's aesthetic language is also forward-looking with suggestions of modernist trends in art--Art Deco, Cubist, and Provincetown white-line woodcut styles. Title from item.
