David Klein (1918 - 2005)
Spain - Fly TWA
Original vintage poster
102 x 63 cm
Klein's poster for Trans World Airlines (TWA) advertises flights to Spain. His design features two matadors in rich traditional address, in a stadium where a bullfight is presumably about to take place; a TWA plane flies overhead.
David Klein was an American artist notable for his posters. He designed posters for the US Army, many and various Broadway productions, Trans World Airlines, and many more commercial clients. In the late 1950s and early 1960s his travel posters became iconic images of the era of commercial aeroplane travel. One of his posters was added to the MoMa's collection in 1957.

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.
