Dennis Wheeler
Original 1984 Winter Olympics Bobsled Poster for the United States Team

1984

About the Item

Dennis Wheeler (b1935 - ) is an American artist who enjoyed a successful career doing commercial artwork. His notable projects included creating the covers of Time, Fortune, and Life magazines. He was also commissioned to produce a number of posters for the Olympics in the 1980s. This example shows the American bobsled team from the 1984 Winter Olympics held in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia (present-day Bosnia-Herzegovina). Wheeler depicted the sport in a simple composition that looks as if the speeding bobsled will fly off of the paper. Other examples of his work have been collected by the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster was printed on heavyweight paper and is in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.

Original Vintage WWII The Sky's the Limit Poster by Courtney Allen 1944
Located in Boca Raton, FL
In America during WWII, every resource was poured into the war effort. With over 12 million Americans - 11% of the total population - serving in the armed forces, everything from food to labor was tight on the Home Front. This poster depicts those who weren't drafted - a young woman and two older men - hard at work on an airplane engine. The text encourages the viewer to pitch in however they can at home, from working in production plants to buying war bonds. The artwork includes a logo for the 6th War Loan, which is of a bomb dropping over the flag of Japan. The 6th War Loan began in November, 1944 with a goal of 16 billion dollars. The previous war bond drives raised in total 355 billion dollars, including 38 billion from individuals. Courtney Allen...

DEUX AMIES Signed Hand Drawn Lithograph, Female Nudes, Blue Sofa, Floral Rug
By Corneille
Located in Union City, NJ
DEUX AMIES is an original hand drawn limited edition lithograph by the Dutch artist known as CORNEILLE(Guillaume van Beverloo) an abstract expressionist who co-founded the 20th Century experimental art movement CoBrA recognized for their spontaneous, rebellious style of painting that was heavily inspired by the art of children and the mentally ill. Corneille devises his colorful fantastic imagery with exotic plant forms, sensuous female bodies, animals and lively pattern design. DEUX AMIES depicts an almost birds-eye view of an interior portrait scene portraying two reclining female nudes; their light blue bodies delineated with cobalt blue details and dark blue hair posed lying on a brown and beige damask floral rug. DEUX AMIES captures the eye with its vivid colors of orange, yellow, green, and dark black purple accenting the left area of the composition with a bright blue sofa...
