Will You save French women: Save Wheat, a poster made by
artist Edward Penfield, was originally created in 1918 on a 93x
143 cm printed color lithograph poster.
Edward Penfield uses the shades of yellow, black and white
with perfect harmony, perfection and precision to bring out the
visual and figures of three women pulling a cropping machine.
The streaks of black, brown, and white at the background appear
like water running down the entrance of the cave. the three
figures are rendered in a layer of transparent resin that is
poured over that textured surface to bring about a rocky ground.
The painting is a colored poster printed on appears, and the
picture seems to have been cut in half before the encapsulation.
The poster is also in a fragile state and has multiple tears.
The three women in the poster seem to be pulling a cropping
machine on a rocky ground and from the look on their faces, it’s
apparent that they are struggling to pull the machines and they
also seem to be fatigued. The women are in a close contact with
each other, no eye contact and they create a sense of group by
sharing many things, they are about the same height, wear
similar long robes, and are in open shoes. Despite the
differences in their clothing designs, the coloring of their head
scarf is almost similar with polka dots which significantly
create a strong vertical rhythm throughout the composition.
Their disproportionately large hands pulling the heavy machine
which depicts the heaviness and the struggle each is putting in
plowing the field. The three women are pulling the machine to
fight against starvation and to feed their families including their

trenches.
Born in New York, Edward Penfield is a prominent figure in
the graphic design with early mentorship in artistry. Raised in a

developed his unique skill styles of simplified figures with bold

of Edward Penfield is the described Save Wheat artwork which
was created during the period of food shortage and labor crisis
in America. The artwork helped make the United States the
most prolific producer of war related posters during the war.
Regarding improvements, Edward Penfield artwork utilizes the

Edward Penfield’s artwork is a remarkable composition with
profound features of colors, layouts, topography and with a
history to recount. Viewing the image for the first time is
thought to provoke by making the viewer take a keen look to
apprehend the meaning of the artwork. However, regarding
color, the artist had to use many colors in a painting about
women and farming. On that regard, a repainting of the same
images with more appealing colors related to agriculture which
perhaps would bring out the clear understanding of the title
“Save wheat.”
