Description

Sculpting Doughboys explores the vast landscape of American World War I memorials. This scholarly work addresses the historical neglect of these monuments within art history and memory studies. By examining the hundreds of sculptures of American soldiers that defined the nation's commemorative scenery, the book provides a deep look into how these figures shaped public perception. The text examines the 'doughboys' - the term for both the American Expeditionary Forces and the sculptures created in their image. Beyond these standard soldier figures, the volume investigates sculptural alternatives such as depictions of motherhood, nude male allegories, and expressions of anti-militarism. This research offers a necessary perspective on how gender, taste, and memory were expressed through sculpture in the aftermath of the Great War.
