James Montgomery Flagg
(1877 - 1960)
Painted arguably the most famous poster in history: Uncle Sam saying "I Want You" (for which he was the model). Successful in most mediums and styles, from cartoons (a very strange sense of humor) to pretty girls (Elvgren sites him as a favorite). Output includes stories, covers, and ads, and did the first "Jeeves" for PG Wodehouse. In demand for his portraiture throughout his life. He was as much a celebrity as the Hollywood and Broadway types he painted and befriended. Also worked on short silent films. The monograph, James Montgomery Flagg, by Susan E. Meyer (1974) is worth seeking out. |

Sketch (1924) Flagg - 006A Perhaps Flagg doodled it while he waited for the art director or scribbled it hastily for the AD as a future gag idea. The idea ended up as the cover for Judge, 31 January 1925!
