Mid-Century Posters. Not Just Good, Great.

For years, poster collectors have focused on the beauty and design of posters from the early 20th Century with a widespread belief that great posters were not created after WWII. Our current online show offers an exclusive selection of 12 posters from the 1950s and 1960s that are not just good posters, they are great posters - posters that would stand out in any period. The notable connection between these posters, in addition to their clear artistic and graphic qualities, is the amazing way in which each captures the feeling of the era. The mid-century style is a continuation of the progression from the ornate illustration of the art nouveau to the powerfully designed and stylized art deco graphics to the mid-century esthetic of the message being the most important element of the poster. Accomplished through simple, clean, graphics; often quirky creative copywriting; and the use of powerful typography, there are great posters from the mid-century, we just have to find them. Obviously, I am biased towards a period whose graphics and design I love.
