About the Artwork:

Dick Williams (1908-1981) was an American commercial illustrator whose work flourished during the mid-20th century. While details about his career are somewhat scarce, his contributions to the war effort stand out. Williams created illustrations for various publications, but his impactful posters for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) like "Of Course I Can!" played a vital role in boosting morale and promoting resourcefulness on the home front during World War II.

This colorful poster features a bright-eyed woman in a checkered dress and apron. She carries an armful of jars of colorful fruits and vegetables. Her enthusiastic expression and determined stance communicate a sense of can-do spirit. The bold text "Of Course I Can! I'm as Patriotic as Can Be – And Ration Points Won't Worry Me!" completes the poster.

"Of Course I Can!" celebrates the essential contributions of civilians during World War II presenting food preservation as a form of patriotic duty.

About the Artwork:

Henry Koerner (1915-1991) was an Austrian-born American painter and graphic designer best known for his work during the mid-20th century. Koerner's artistic talents found a critical outlet during World War II when he was recruited by the U.S. Office of War Information. Posters like "Save Waste Fats for Explosives" were part of a nationwide campaign mobilizing everyday citizens to contribute to the war effort in unexpected ways.

This dramatic poster features a powerful visual metaphor. A woman's hand, illuminated from below, pours grease from a skillet directly into a fiery explosion. Shrapnel and bomb casings erupt from the center, symbolizing the transformative power of recycled fat. The stark black background intensifies the imagery. The text "Save Waste Fats for Explosives. Take Them to Your Meat Dealer" appears in bold white lettering at the top and bottom, delivering a clear call to action.
