About the Item
Artist Charles Perry Weimer employs thin black horizontal lines that intersect with thin black vertical lines. The result is a triumph of design where the highly stylized pulsating image of the new Waldorf Astoria emerges from an abstract background.
Great art is not always done by famous artists. This is a prime example. A lesser-known but brilliant artist did it with a distinctive graphic style. Looking at the work, the viewer has to ask himself, "how did he do this and get it right?" It was most likely done on assignment for a newspaper or magazine. The Waldorf Astoria New York is an Art Deco landmark and icon of glamour and luxury. On it's opening in 1931, it was t was the tallest and largest hotel in the world at the time, covering the entire block. It's distinctive Art Deco look was celebrated in all media at the time, including postcards. Signed lower right—overall good condition. The diagonal stuff in the lower right quadrant has received some conservation and is most visible under raking light. Frame and matt is inexpensive
