About the Item

Original 1970s poster designed by artist Silavno Campeggi. In the United States Campeggi is considered among the most important graphic artists in the history of American cinema. Among the most famous posters and playbills designed by the Florentine artist are those of such memorable films as "Casablanca," "Singing in the Rain," "An American in Paris," "West Side Story," "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Winners and Losers," "Exodus," "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Ben Hur," and "Bambi." Born in Florence on Jan. 23, 1923, Campeggi attended art school in the Tuscan capital as a student of Ottone Rosai and Ardengo Soffici, then began working as an illustrator of books and newspapers for various graphic companies. Moving to Rome after the war, he joined the studio of painter Orfeo Tamburi and met poster artist Luigi Martinati, becoming attracted to film posters. Because of his skill in portraiture and his congenial inventiveness, he worked, signing himself "Nano," for major American film companies such as Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Universal, Paramount, Warner Bross, RKo, Dear Film, making more than 3,000 posters for Hollywood.

  • Original Vintage Color World War II Propaganda Poster Soldier Offset Lithograph
    By Franz Oswald Schiffers
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Going home? Don't be delayed by V.D.; 1946 military poster by Franz Oswald Schiffers. Going home? Don't be delayed by V.D. VD, the 1946 U.S. (or Australian) World War II (WWII) health poster warning soldiers overseas of the consequences of venereal disease. Bound up in rope. Going home? Don't be delayed by V.D.! is a vintage 1946 public service announcement poster by Franz O. Schiffers (1902-1976). Schiffers was commissioned to create several posters warning against venereal disease for the U.S servicemen stationed overseas. The artwork is bold, clear and direct. In the post-World War II era, the piece sent a serious message to prevent contracting disease through relations with foreigners. In today's day and age, these pieces are quite humorous and decorative. Virile soldiers are shown to be up against the looming threat of venereal disease. The soldier standing on the pier watching his ship sail away would have to make a very embarrassing explanation to his wife or girlfriend as to why he was left behind. Franz Oswald Schiffers (born August 5, 1902 in Eilendorf in Aachen , February 12, 1976 in Berlin ) was a graphic artist and film poster artist . He was one of the first graphic artists of the 1930s to achieve photorealistic effects in their works. At his father's request, Schiffers initially trained as a teacher before moving to Berlin in 1925 and became a graphic designer at UFA (Universum Film AG). After designing a series of movie posters there, Schiffers became independent in 1932 as a commercial artist (now a graphic designer). In the 1930s, Schiffers specialized in advertising posters for beverage producers - especially beer advertising. The trademark of his beer posters is the meticulous design of beer glass with shiny drops of water that trickle down the misted glass. In this photorealistic context one also speaks of " veristic " graphics. After the seizure of power by the National SocialistsNazis , Schiffers temporarily worked for the Reich Propaganda Ministry. He designed u. a. the so-called "shadow man campaign" with the well-known slogan "enemy hears with!" - A German graphic artist who designed movie posters and advertisements in late-1920s and early 1930s Germany. During the Nazi era, Schiffers was commissioned by the Nazi propaganda office to create German propaganda...
