James Montgomery Flagg was an Illustrator who was famous for his drawing of the "I Want You" poster featuring Uncls Sam pointing his finger at the viewer. Flagg did a lot of work on propaganda posters for the war effort as well as cartoons for magazines and newspapers. His work is interesting becasue it iconographic. It depicts a nation buried in the mire of it's own self image. His use of muted colors in this particular piece The Shrine, "Lucius Leaps Over" (1926) is inteeresting as well his use of paneling to show different points in the story( much like the popular comics of the day).
