1959 TWA, Los Angeles Original Vintage Poster
About the Item
This poster was created in 1959 for Howard Hughes’ Trans World Airlines promoting their routes to Los Angeles, California. Illustrated by influential American artist David Klein, this design features a wonderfully stylized view of the California sunshine over the San Gabriel bell tower and reads "Up, Up & Away!'".
Hughes and TWA collaborated with Klein on many posters during the height of the golden-era of aviation from the 50s through to the 70s. These posters have become synonymous with that golden, midcentury era of design.

David Klein
David Klein was an immensely prolific travel posterist who worked primarily for TWA and produced dozens of posters for the now-defunct global carrier. He designed several different series for TWA, ranging from early work that was realistic to later work that was cartoon-like in style. David Klein was born in El Paso, Texas in February of 1918. He moved to California where he attended the Art Center School [later renamed the Art Center College of Design] in Los Angeles. During the 1930s, he was an active member of the California Watercolor Society. This group of artists often chose to paint watercolors depicting scenes of everyday life in the cities and suburbs of California. They painted directly with little or no preliminary pencil drawings and used paper as a ‘color’ in a new and creative way.
