McKnight Kauffer, Ted 30 x 40 Ted McKnight Kauffer (1890 -1954) Born in Montana, USA. He studied in San Francisco and Paris. Kauffer came to London in 1914 and in 1915 he was commissioned by Frank Pick at London Transport. From this time he was an extremely influential designer of posters, theatre costume, exhibition designs, murals, book illustrations, carpets and textiles. He and his wife Marion Dorn, also an accomplished designer, made a dynamic and glamorous couple. Kauffer returned to America in 1940. Many retrospective exhibitions of his work have been held, including those at the Museum of Modern Art, New York and at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Kauffer's connections to the artistic avant-garde in France and Britain placed him at the forefront of developments in the visual language of advertsing during the 1930s and 40's. He ranks as one of the most significant designers of the 20c - in Britain or anywhere in the world.' Kauffer's work was graphic in the sense that - at least to me - there were few extraneous flourishes - there was a message, it was clear, and it was delivered cleanly, in elegant style. This poster, done in 1948 as one of a series he did for American Airlines, is a perfect example of the work for which he is rightly regarded as a pioneer and an expert. Featuring the classic skyline of Washington, it is a great poster for an office, living room or any room where a significant poster would add to the decor. #1103   « Less

From a magnificent book published in the early 1920''s of Hohlwein''s works. The introduction for the book reads as follows: Born in Munich, Germany in July, 1871, he started his professional career as an architect, but in 1895 was induced by his love of color and the lure to produce colorful posters, to desert his profession and to begin his new career asa poster designer. Immediately he established for himself an enviable reputation and soon was recognized as the leader in the field. He has retained this distinction ever since and today is cnsidered not only the foremost poster designer in Germany, but one of the best inthe world. During the long period of activity in which he produced many hundred posters, he has hardly ever failed to produce a thing of beauty and charm. His compositions are always striking and original, his color harmonies unusual and superb and his technique at once recognizable and inimitable. Undoubtedly, many of his productions bear the distinctive mark of an architect, others again are endowed with the qualities of mural decorator, while others denote the frequency with which he has been influenced by the Japanese print. Throughout his entire career as poster artist, he has successfully maintained a high standard of excellence in his work, whether it be a dignified poster to exploit a war loan, or a humorous sketch to advertise a shoe polish. His versatility seems unbounded. One needs only glance though the present collection of his works to realize and appreciate the remarkable and charming qualtiies of the modern decorative poster designer, Ludwig Hohlwein.'' This volume was owned by the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of New York who for some unknown reason stamped each page of the book with their seal. I have attempted to photograph each plate well and to show where the seal shows on the plate - if at all. The plates are all in pristine condition, with no foxing or tearing. The colors of the book are slightly more punchy than the Hohlwein prints we have here in the gallery - I assume that the reproduction skills of the printer are the reason for that. The colors are as they appear in the photos. Please e-mail a request for any additional photos. (On a personal note - I have fallen in love with the work of Hohlwein: although I consider myself fairly well versed in art history, I had never heard of Hohlwein before I opened my gallery. His work brings me great pleasure - it is precise, humorous and colorful. I think these prints will look magnificent framed.) This particular print measures 6.25 x 4.25 inches, and framed it measures approx. 12 x 14 inches (this same print is offered, unframed, #380084806614) PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OF OUR PRINTS, POCHOIRS AND POSTERS ARE ORIGINAL, NON REPRODUCTION WORKS.
