Additional Information
Illustrated by the innovative and influential American artist Adolph Treidler this depiction of the iconic New York City shows the city in a period of significant growth and transformation following the conclusion of World War II. For centuries New York City welcomed immigrants in search of the American dream, and its diverse neighborhoods and communities reflect the numerous regions and countries that represent the 20 million residents of the metropolitan area. This poster's distinctively art-deco style is reflective of Treidler's unique aesthetic and transports the viewer back in time immediately. His bold use of primary colors and sharp lines was a move forward as advertising became more modern.
This poster was produced for Aer Lingus to promote tourism to Ireland during the 1950s, and Treidler's work had been used widely for tourism boards and as part of the effort to recruit troops and workers during World War I. Treidler was born in 1886 and studied at the California School of Design in San Francisco, and his works were widely popular from the 1930s to the 1960s, when a shift from more traditional styles gave way to more experimental art forms. His distinctive style is immediately recognizable, and he remains an influential designer for mid-century advertisement and art.
The post-war boom marked a period of significant economic prosperity and growth for not only New York City but the United States at large, and as Americans enjoyed this time, vacations became essential. This is a unique piece of American advertising history.
