There is this idea that many people believed in, and many still do. This is the American Dream. The American Dream is the idea of a life of abundance, prosperity, happiness and liberty, and although may believed this to be true, reality most often did not align with this idea. The first piece of art that depicts part of this idea is a lithograph by J. Keppler, titled "Welcome to All". This was created in 1880, for the Puck Magazine, which was a popular humor magazine at the time. Keppler uses light and dark sides of the image to juxtapose how the popele in the image were leaving to behind darkness in their former lives to then find light in America. The light is brightest behind the America flag, creating glowing imagery of the greatness of America. Keppler creates hope and a sense of triumph with this. Adding to this feeling, ahead of the ragtag diverse group of people, there is a man standing on a boat with his arms wide open. This man is Uncle Sam, a symbolic figure of America. The open arms create a welcoming feeling to those weary people. Next to Uncle Sam, there are signs boasting of all that America has to offer for this people, from "no expensive kings" to "free education". Keppler used this to create a sense of abundance that comes with America. Tying all these elements together, Keppler creates a glowing image of the greatness of America for all those that come to partake of all that it has to offer. The hope of these people heading to abundance and better things has been common for all those coming to America, or even those already living in America. Unfortunately, this dream did not connect with reality. This juxtaposition of dream versus relaity can be seen in Margaret Bourke White's photo titled "World's Highest Standard of Living", first published in the Life magazine in February 1937. This juxtaposition iof dream and reality starts with the dream. White captured a billboard, advertising the "American Dream"- the perfect (white) nuclear family, complete with a dog and a car. Next to this glowing image, there are words that read "There's no way like the American Way!" This very well convey the American ideal at the time, the perfect suburban lifestyle. This is what many people believed life would snd should be like in America. But in reality, especially in the time this was taken, American life was more like what was below this advertisement. Below, there is a line of African-Americans waiting in a breadline. There was no sign of the promises made in the advertisement. White cleverly captured this moment, where the dream was "above" the reality, which invokes thought and a bit of discomfort at the current situation in which they lived, and how far it was from the ideal.
