Original Description
Cornelius "Connie" Grover Hicks’ The Badge of Service (along with its companion The Badge of Service Poster Print) is a striking mid-20th-century work that embodies the boldness of modernist graphic design with a deeply humanistic touch. Created during a period when societal narratives of labor and identity were shifting, Hicks’ composition merges clean, geometric forms with emotive symbolism—often portraying workers or service professionals in a stylized, almost heroic light. The piece reflects the socially engaged art of the era, channeling influences from WPA posters and early American modernism while maintaining a distinct, graphic clarity that feels both timeless and of its moment. Though not as widely recognized as some of his peers, Hicks’ work occupies an important niche in the history of communicative art, where design and fine art intersect to celebrate everyday dignity.
For a contemporary space, The Badge of Service would anchor a room with its balanced interplay of bold shapes and muted, earthy tones—ideal for a study, office, or living area with mid-century or industrial decor. Its graphic quality pairs well with minimalist furniture in walnut or blackened steel, while the poster print version lends flexibility for smaller spaces or gallery walls. Opt for a medium-to-large frame (24x36 inches or similar) to emphasize its compositional impact, and consider a matte black or brushed brass frame to echo its vintage-modern vibe. Soft, warm lighting (like an angled picture light) would enhance its textured layers, while a nearby shelf with patinaed metal objects or leather-bound books could deepen the narrative tone of craftsmanship the piece evokes.
