Francis Luis Mora, son of one painter and sculptor and brother of another, was an illustrator, muralist and portraitist whose work reflects a confluence of the Spanish masters and modern-
American influences. He was a highly awarded for his signature style.

Mora also traveled to Europe to study the great
paintings of the Spanish masters. By age 18, Mora was illustrating for leading periodicals. He began exhibiting two years later, and in 1900 he
received a commission for a mural in the public library of Lynn, Massachusetts.

Toward the end of World War I, the United States undertook a series of initiatives which were designed to bring hope and purpose to a war-weary nation. This poster, for the US Children's
Bureau and Women's Committee of the Council of National Defense illustrates the happy crowd of children, who together will face whatever challenges arrive. A colorful work in yellows,
blues and greens.

Francis Luis Mora (1874-1940)
