One Sheet vintage travel poster for Las Vegas, commissioned by Trans World Airlines (TWA).
Poster Details
Artist: The iconic poster was designed by American artist David Klein, a master of mid-century travel advertising known for his bold and modern graphic style.
Circa: It was created around 1955-1960, during the dawn of the commercial jet age.
Design: Klein's innovative design divides the composition into two halves to represent both the daytime and nighttime activities of Las Vegas. The image creatively incorporates iconic symbols of the city, such as a roulette wheel, playing cards, dice, and a stylized sun wearing sunglasses.
Significance: Klein's TWA posters are celebrated works of 20th-century American design, with his New York City poster for TWA even included in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. |
