ARTHUR MOLE - The Living American Flag, 1917

Item Details

Description

Artist: Arthur Mole

Title: The Living American Flag, 1917

Medium: Photo Litho, 2015, France

Dimensions: 8.4x10.6"

Description: Heat Wax Mounted on 11x14" Conservation Board

Artsit Bio:

Arthur Samuel Mole (1889 – 1983 ) was a British-born, naturalized American commercial photographer. He became famous for a series of "living photographs" made during World War I, in which tens of thousands of soldiers, reservists and other members of the military were arranged to form massive compositions. Although if viewed from the ground or from directly above, these masses of men would appear meaningless, when seen from the top of an 80-foot viewing tower, they clearly appeared to be various patriotic shapes. The key was to photograph the people from the one place where the lines of perspective would resolve themselves into intelligible images. His partner in this endeavor was John D. Thomas.
