Artist Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) boldly asserted his support for American intervention in World War I before the country formally declared war on Germany. He was best known for his creation of the Gibson Girl, an iconic representation of the beautiful and independent Euro-American woman at the turn of the 20th century. His wife, Irene Langhorne, and her four sisters inspired his images.
