One interesting way of examining art during World War II is to look at the advertisments produced in art magazines during this period. Advertising art was an important part of American Artist Magazine during the 1940s. Companies that produced art supplies like Winsor & Newton, Hurlock Helpers, and Koh-I-Noor provided innovative ads for the magazine during this period. One cannot help but be impressed with the excellence of advertising illustration during this period of history. Many artists were very enthusiastic in providing the world with illustrations about the men and machines of war.
You will find a nice selection of 1940's American Artist magazines at Nella's Books and Collectibles.
