About the Item
Seymour Chwast
Greta Garbo, 1989
Silkscreen on Rives BFK
Hand-signed and numbered 36/200 by artist on the front
44 x 30 inches
Unframed
This large, dazzling multi color silkscreen is a close-up portrait of the legendary Hollywood screen siren Greta Garbo with blue skin and wearing a black hat. Confetti of every color is swirling around her face and a few pieces have fallen to resemble the actress's name, Garbo. This print is signed and numbered in pencil by the artist.
A bright, strong impression. There is some mild foxing under the signature (see photo), and at the white margins, much of which will frame out.
About Seymour Chwast:
Seymour Chwast has profoundly affected American graphic design and illustration, both through his stewardship of the seminal Push Pin Studios (which he founded in 1954 with Milton Glaser and Ed Sorel) and his consistent contributions in editorial illustration for periodicals such as The New York Times, Forbes, and Frankfurter Allgemeine. He is the author of more than thirty children's books, and his illustrations can be found on countless posters, packaging, album and book covers, advertisements, and corporate and environmental graphics. When it first gained recognition, Push Pin represented a radical departure from the modernist orthodoxy prevalent in the New York design world, and embraced a flowing and vibrant visual style that would make its mark on the Pop movement of the 1960s; this was recognized in The Push Pin Style, the unprecedented exhibition of American design at the Louvre’s Musée des Arts Decoratifs in 1970. In 1985, the studio’s name was changed to The Pushpin Group, of which Chwast is the director. He is a member of the Art Directors Hall of Fame and a recipient of the AIGA medal. The Seymour Chwast Collection contains 60 original artworks, 79 posters, 33 periodicals (including the Push Pin Graphic and The Nose), many print items, and several hundred slides.

Seymour Chwast
Seymour Chwast's posters are in the permanent collections of many museums worldwide. Seymour Chwast"s art helped to propel a revolution in American illustration during the early 1960"s from sentimental realism to comic expressionism. His work for magazines, posters, advertisements, and children"s books influenced at least two generations of illustrators and designers in America and abroad to explore a broad range of stylistic and conceptual methods, as well as to wed illustration with design. In addition to his unique style and innovative techniques, Chwast contributed a delightfully absurdist sense of wit and humor to twentieth century applied art. Although rooted in the decorative traditions of the nascent years of commercial art—notably Victorian, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco—his work is not a synthesis of the past and present, but an invention of the most original kind.
