Constructing the Ideal Soldier

Nathan Savo '24, Class of 1954 Intern

Published by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth, 2023, 4 pages

Constructing the Ideal Soldier focuses on Mexico and the United States in the first half of the twentieth century, a period when visual artists constructed the image of the perfect service member as a very specific type of individual. Artists, generally male, often depicted the soldier figure as a heroic, patriotic, heterosexual man. This vision of the soldier has reinforced patriarchal and heteronormative values, as well as unquestioned nationalism.
