Kostume, Plakate, und Dekorationen, "Läderlappen"
Located in Chicago, IL
Walter Schnackenberg’s style changed several times during his long and successful career. Having studied in Munich, the artist traveled often to Paris where he fell under the spell of the Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s colorful and sensuous posters depicting theatrical and decadent subjects. Schnackenberg became a regular contributor of similar compositions to the German magazines Jugend and Simplicissimus before devoting himself to the design of stage scenery and costumes. In the artist’s theatrical work, his mastery of form, ornamentation, and Orientalism became increasingly evident. He excelled at combining fluid Art Nouveau outlines, with spiky Expressionist passages, and the postures and patterns of the mysterious East. In his later years, Schnackenberg explored the unconscious, using surreal subject matter and paler colors that plainly portrayed dreams and visions, some imbued with political connotations. His drawings, illustrations, folio prints, and posters are highly sought today for their exceedingly imaginative qualities, enchanting subject matter, and arresting use of color. SCHNACKENBERG: KOSTUME, PLAKATE UND DEKORATIONEN, a cardboard bound art book consisting of 43 prints of work by Walter Schnackenberg, 30 of which are color lithographs that are signed and some are titled and dated in the plate, as well as black and white prints and photographs with accompanying text by Oskar Bie; lithographs printed at Kunstanstalt Oskar Consee in Munich, other images printed by Gesellschaft Pick & Co. in Munich, the text and cover with color images by Schnackenberg front and verso printed by R. Oldenbourg in Munich; published by Musarion Verlag, Munich, 1920. The majority of Walter Schnackenberg’s artistic output was destroyed by bomb attacks in Munich in 1944. The highly publicized 2013 auction in New York of the recovered pre-war poster collection once belonging to German poster aficionado, Hans Sachs has reintroduced the world to Walter Schnackenberg’s graphic genius and priceless ephemeral art from a lost era. Besides the museum world, designer Karl Lagerfeld is one of the most prodigious collectors of Schnackenberg. Flipping through the pages of Kostume, Plakate und Dekorationen, it becomes quite clear that Schnackenberg’s collection is ground zero at the crossroads of early modern fashion where the cult of celebrity meets up with dance, music, theater and cabaret, film and the graphic medium. Berlin and Munich under Germany’s Weimar Republic in the first quarter of the 20th century produced just the atmosphere to feed this burgeoning industry. Rising inflation sparked a recklessness to live large for the moment and heightened a desire for escapism. An influx of Indian and East Asian dancers and musicians added to the artsy bohemian cultural mix. A new decadence and tolerance resulted. Film boldly featured provocative subject matter. Cabarets became popular venues giving rise to the demi-monde in which people from all social stations mixed more freely in a thriving underground economy and culture where there was a blurring of boundaries and of social codes. Noted art historian and cultural doyen, Oskar Bie astutely observes in his introduction to Schnackenberg’s publication that what unites the images is fantasy and advertisement. Schnackenberg uses the eye as an instrument to brilliantly construct and convey this double message. His personages never directly confront the viewer. Their eyes gaze off in the distance like those of the screenplayer and film star Hedamaria Scholz in Schnackenberg’s “Die Rodelhexe” movie poster. Their eyes follow the path of a dance composition or become a transfixed and ogling male gaze such as the iconic 1911 Odeon Casino poster...

1971 original travel poster by Pagès for Air France promoting travel to Canada
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1971 original travel poster by Pagès for Air France promoting travel to Canada is a striking example of how mid-20th century travel advertising captured the imagination of would-be travelers. With its focus on bold design and a sense of adventure, this poster reflects the growing enthusiasm for international travel and Air France's role in making distant destinations more accessible. Pagès' work for this campaign is emblematic of the era's modernist artistic trends, skillfully blending abstract forms with cultural and geographical references to convey the vast and varied appeal of Canada. Pagès, renowned for his innovative use of abstract shapes and colors, likely employs these elements to evoke the expansive landscapes and natural beauty of Canada. Though the specific visual details are not described, his style often incorporates geometric patterns and vibrant contrasts that could symbolize Canada's iconic features, such as its towering mountains, endless forests, and dynamic urban centers. The abstract nature of the design serves to create a sense of wonder and possibility, drawing viewers into the allure of exploring the vast Canadian wilderness and cosmopolitan cities. The word "Canada" is likely presented in a clean, modern font, emphasizing the destination's name with simplicity and elegance. Below this, the Air France logo, traditionally in a bold blue, reinforces the airline's commitment to providing a sophisticated and reliable travel experience. The minimalist text ensures that the viewer's focus remains on the visual elements of the poster, which communicate the essence of Canada as a destination rich in natural beauty and cultural diversity. In the 1970s, Canada was emerging as a popular destination for travelers seeking both adventure and tranquility. From the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the serene landscapes of the Great Lakes to the vibrant cultural scenes in cities like Montreal and Toronto, Canada offered a wide range of experiences. Pagès' abstract design likely captures this diversity, conveying the country's unique charm and inviting travelers to explore its myriad attractions. The choice of an abstract and modernist design reflects Air France's branding strategy during this period, positioning the airline as a gateway to the world's most exciting and diverse destinations. By commissioning contemporary artists like Pagès, Air France not only advertised its routes but also associated itself with the cutting-edge artistic movements of the time, appealing to a global audience of sophisticated and adventurous travelers. Today, the 1971 Air France Canada poster...

Milton Glaser's Great Illustrators of Our Time exhibition at Rizzoli Galleries
Located in PARIS, FR
Few names resonate in the world of graphic design as powerfully as Milton Glaser, and this 1982 poster is a quintessential example of his ability to merge elegance with immediacy. Created to promote the Great Illustrators of Our Time exhibition at Rizzoli Galleries, the poster is both an homage and a showcase—highlighting not just the work of Glaser himself but the broader cultural importance of illustration in 20th-century art and publishing. The composition is unmistakably Glaser: bold yet balanced, playful but deliberate. His signature use of vibrant color palettes, whimsical linework, and symbolic imagery elevates the poster beyond mere promotion—it becomes a collectible in its own right. At a glance, the poster celebrates visual storytelling. It encapsulates the spirit of an era when illustrators were not just supporting the text, but redefining it—shaping magazine covers, books, advertisements, and cultural identity itself. Glaser, best known for his “I ❤ NY” logo and the iconic 1967 Bob Dylan poster...

Kostume, Plakate, und Dekorationen, "Anne Lemans"
Located in Chicago, IL
Walter Schnackenberg’s style changed several times during his long and successful career. Having studied in Munich, the artist traveled often to Paris where he fell under the spell of the Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s colorful and sensuous posters depicting theatrical and decadent subjects. Schnackenberg became a regular contributor of similar compositions to the German magazines Jugend and Simplicissimus before devoting himself to the design of stage scenery and costumes. In the artist’s theatrical work, his mastery of form, ornamentation, and Orientalism became increasingly evident. He excelled at combining fluid Art Nouveau outlines, with spiky Expressionist passages, and the postures and patterns of the mysterious East. In his later years, Schnackenberg explored the unconscious, using surreal subject matter and paler colors that plainly portrayed dreams and visions, some imbued with political connotations. His drawings, illustrations, folio prints, and posters are highly sought today for their exceedingly imaginative qualities, enchanting subject matter, and arresting use of color. SCHNACKENBERG: KOSTUME, PLAKATE UND DEKORATIONEN, a cardboard bound art book consisting of 43 prints of work by Walter Schnackenberg, 30 of which are color lithographs that are signed and some are titled and dated in the plate, as well as black and white prints and photographs with accompanying text by Oskar Bie; lithographs printed at Kunstanstalt Oskar Consee in Munich, other images printed by Gesellschaft Pick & Co. in Munich, the text and cover with color images by Schnackenberg front and verso printed by R. Oldenbourg in Munich; published by Musarion Verlag, Munich, 1920. The majority of Walter Schnackenberg’s artistic output was destroyed by bomb attacks in Munich in 1944. The highly publicized 2013 auction in New York of the recovered pre-war poster collection once belonging to German poster aficionado, Hans Sachs has reintroduced the world to Walter Schnackenberg’s graphic genius and priceless ephemeral art from a lost era. Besides the museum world, designer Karl Lagerfeld is one of the most prodigious collectors of Schnackenberg. Flipping through the pages of Kostume, Plakate und Dekorationen, it becomes quite clear that Schnackenberg’s collection is ground zero at the crossroads of early modern fashion where the cult of celebrity meets up with dance, music, theater and cabaret, film and the graphic medium. Berlin and Munich under Germany’s Weimar Republic in the first quarter of the 20th century produced just the atmosphere to feed this burgeoning industry. Rising inflation sparked a recklessness to live large for the moment and heightened a desire for escapism. An influx of Indian and East Asian dancers and musicians added to the artsy bohemian cultural mix. A new decadence and tolerance resulted. Film boldly featured provocative subject matter. Cabarets became popular venues giving rise to the demi-monde in which people from all social stations mixed more freely in a thriving underground economy and culture where there was a blurring of boundaries and of social codes. Noted art historian and cultural doyen, Oskar Bie astutely observes in his introduction to Schnackenberg’s publication that what unites the images is fantasy and advertisement. Schnackenberg uses the eye as an instrument to brilliantly construct and convey this double message. His personages never directly confront the viewer. Their eyes gaze off in the distance like those of the screenplayer and film star Hedamaria Scholz in Schnackenberg’s “Die Rodelhexe” movie poster. Their eyes follow the path of a dance composition or become a transfixed and ogling male gaze such as the iconic 1911 Odeon Casino...
