Original Pan American Mexico vintage travel poster
Located in Spokane, WA
Original Mexico Pan Am Pan American vintage travel poster. The world's most experienced airline. Festivals Old and New. Artist: Edward McKnight Kauffer. Printer: Gugler Lithographic Company, USA. Linen-backed, ready to frame. In very fine to excellent condition. No restoration, flaws, stains, or fading.
Edward McKnight Kauffer was an American artist who became renowned for his work as a graphic designer and poster artist, particularly during the early 20th century. While he was born in the United States in 1890, he spent much of his career working in Europe, particularly in London, where he moved in 1914 and eventually settled.
Kauffer's style was highly innovative for its time, blending Cubism, Futurism, and abstraction elements into his designs. He was known for his bold use of color, geometric shapes, and dynamic compositions, which made his work highly distinctive and influential.
Kauffer made significant contributions to poster art, particularly through his commissions for various companies and organizations. One notable client was Pan American Airways, for whom he created a series of iconic posters promoting air travel and the destinations served by the airline.
The Pan Am to Mexico poster is a striking example of Kauffer's modernist style, characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes, and simplified forms. In this particular piece, Kauffer employed vibrant hues and abstract imagery to capture the allure and excitement of air travel to Mexico.
During the 1940s, Pan American Airways, commonly known as Pan Am, was at the forefront of international air travel, significantly shaping the global aviation industry. Here are some key aspects of Pan Am's operations and influence during that period:

"New Masses" Vol 1, No 1, May 1926, Actual Magazine, VG Condition Hugo Gellert
By Hugo Gellert
Located in New York, NY
"New Masses" Vol 1, No 1, May 1926, Actual Magazine, VG Condition Hugo Gellert
New Masses Magazine. May 1926, Inaugural: Vol 1, No 1. Published by the New Masses Inc., 39 West 8th St., New York City.
New Masses (1926-1948) was an American Marxist magazine launched in New York City. It was closely associated with the Communist Party USA. With the coming of the Great Depression in 1929 America became more receptive to ideas from the political Left and New Masses became highly influential in intellectual circles. The magazine has been called the principal organ of the American cultural left from 1926 onwards. It featured the work of an array of independent writers and artists.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s recent exhibition, “Art for the Millions: American Culture and Politics in the 1930s” celebrated the American spirit during the depression era. In the exhibition several issues of "New Masses" are exhibited, but not Vol 1. No. 1. We offer that.
Lithograph by Hugo Gellert on the cover and multiple illustrations in magazine. Hugo Gellert (1892-1985) was a Hungarian-American illustrator and muralist. A committed radical and member of the Communist Party of America, Gellert is considered by some art critics as among the best political work of the first half of the 20th century.
The artists who works are inside Vol 1, No. 1 include: William Gropper, Adolph Dehn, Stuart Davis, Art Young, I. Klein, Boardman Robinson, Wanda Gag, Louis Lozowick, F. S. Hynd, New Masses, Otto Soclow, Hans Stengel and Arnold Ronnebeck.
The writers included in this issue: Babette Deutsch, Robert Dljnn, Robinson Jeffers, William Carlos Williams, Nathan Asch, Norman Studer, M. H. Hedges, Art Shields, Karol Rembov, Hal Saunders-White, Edwin Seaver, George Sterling, Scott Nearing and Whittaker Chambers.
Editors: Egmont Arens, Joseph Freeman, Hugo Gellert, Michael Gold, James Rorty, and Joan Sloan.Executive Board: Egmont Arens, Maurice Becker, Helen Black, John Dos Passos, Robert Dunn...

Original Exhibition poster for Keith Haring at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, May 08-September 08, 1998; an exhibit which featured a complete retrospective of Haring's work, from his childhood doodles and early New York subway drawings to large-scale paintings during his final years.
Off-set lithograph on heavy wove paper.
24 x 36 inches. Unsigned from an edition of unknown.
Bright, vibrant colors. Some minor signs of handling; otherwise very good overall.
Contains trademark of Haring Estate on lower center edge.
Further Background:
Image featured in this poster is Haring's, "Drawing for Headstand 1988. De Young Museum's regarding Haring's symbolism here:
"Human figures depicted upside-down are usually B-boys and B-girls, the dancers of hip-hop, doing the iconic move in which they spin on their head. Figures contorting in backbends or jumps are probably also depictions of break dancers."
Haring’s work has long been a part of San Francisco’s visual culture. He created works for diverse venues in San Francisco during his lifetime, including murals for DV8, a club once located in the South of Market neighborhood, and a huge, multi-panel painting for the South of Market Childcare Center (also known as the Saint Patrick's Daycare Center). Haring’s outdoor sculpture Untitled (Three Dancing Figures) (1989), located at Third and Howard Streets, is a prominent feature of Moscone Convention Center, and his triptych altarpiece The Life of Christ (1990) is installed in the AIDS Chapel at Grace Cathedral...

Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012) is regarded as one of the most important women artists and African American artists of our time. She believed art could affect social change and that she should be an agent for that change: “I have always wanted my art to service black people—to reflect us, to relate to us, to stimulate us, to make us aware of our potential.” As an artist and an activist, Catlett highlighted the dignity and courage of motherhood, poverty, and the working class, returning again and again to the subject she understood best—African American women.
The work below, entitled, “Man”, is "carved from a block of wood, chiseled like a relief. Catlett, a sculptor as well as a printmaker, carves figures out of wood, and so is extremely familiar with this material. For ‘Man’ she exploits the grain of the wood, allowing to to describe the texture of the skin and form vertical striations, almost scarring the image. Below this intense, three-dimensional visage parades seven boys, printed repetitively from a single linoleum block in a “rainbow roll” that changes from gold to brown. This row of brightly colored figures with bare feet, flat like a string of paper dolls, raise their arms toward the powerful depiction of the troubled man above.”
Biography:
Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012)
Known for abstract sculpture in bronze and marble as well as prints and paintings, particularly depicting the female figure, Elizabeth Catlett is unique for distilling African American, Native American, and Mexican art in her work. She is "considered by many to be the greatest American black sculptor". . .(Rubinstein 320)
Catlett was born in Washington D.C. and later became a Mexican citizen, residing in Cuernavaca Morelos, Mexico. She spent the last 35 years of her life in Mexico.
Her father, a math teacher at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, died before she was born, but the family, including her working mother, lived in the relatively commodious home of his family in DC. Catlett received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Howard University, where there was much discussion about whether or not black artists should depict their own heritage or embrace European modernism.
She earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1940 from the University of Iowa, where she had gone to study with Grant Wood, Regionalist* painter. His teaching dictum was "paint what you know best," and this advice set her on the path of dealing with her own background. She credits Wood with excellent teaching and deep concern for his students, but she had a problem during that time of taking classes from him because black students were not allowed housing in the University's dormitories.
Following graduation in 1940, she became Chair of the Art Department at Dillard University in New Orleans. There she successfully lobbied for life classes with nude models, and gained museum admission to black students at a local museum that to that point, had banned their entrance. That same year, her painting Mother and Child, depicting African-American figures won her much recognition.
From 1944 to 1946, she taught at the George Washington Carver School, an alternative community school in Harlem that provided instruction for working men and women of the city. From her experiences with these people, she did a series of paintings, prints, and sculptures with the theme "I Am a Negro Woman."
In 1946, she received a Rosenwald Fellowship*, and she and her artist husband, Charles White, traveled to Mexico where she became interested in the Mexican working classes. In 1947, she settled permanently in Mexico where she, divorced from White, married artist Francisco Mora...
