Mendota After Hours: The Nation Makes the Man: Norman Rockwell and WWII Masculinity
Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the United States' leadership was deeply invested in the state of American Masculinity. As the U.S. entered World War II, a new era of American Masculinity emerged, highlighting the aggressive and patriotic military man. Norman Rockwell, in his Saturday Evening Post illustrations of Willie Gillis, diverged from this trend, portraying the "American everyman". Join us as we discuss the visual portrayal of American masculinity and its roots in Rooseveltian ideals, as well as the work of Norman Rockwell and its impact on American culture.
