TWA (Trans World Airlines) was formed in 1924 as Transcontinental & Western Air. The airline's first route was from New York to Los Angeles, followed by multiple National routes. The airline expanded to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Asia after WWII when the company was under Howard Hughes's owner's control from 1939 until 1961. Hughes was a dominant force in expanding and promoting his company's routes. The economy was vastly improving, and travel by air for business and pleasure increased, too. Posters were a crucial element in promoting this form of travel and TWA. The airline started a decline in the 1970s, ending in a third bankruptcy that caused its acquisition by American Airlines in 2001.

Step into a vivid dream of Iberian flair with this striking circa 1960 original travel poster by David Klein, created for Trans World Airlines (TWA). Designed at the height of the Jet Age, this artwork invites viewers to fly across the Atlantic and immerse themselves in the timeless traditions and spectacle of Spain. Rendered in Klein’s unmistakable style—bold, graphic, and saturated with color—the poster is anchored by the imposing figure of a matador, resplendent in an elaborately embroidered traje de luces (suit of lights). His stoic expression, the gleaming detail of his costume, and the dramatic composition place the viewer right on the threshold of the bullring. In the background, another matador stands poised beneath the arches of a sunlit plaza de toros, while a stylized jetliner leaves a clean, modern contrail in the crimson sky above—signaling the future soaring above the heritage of the past. With its juxtaposition of tradition and modernity, this poster captures both the romance of Old Spain and the excitement of international travel in the mid-20th century. The golden Gothic script of “Spain” contrasts with the jet-age boldness of the “Fly TWA” lettering, creating a visual rhythm that reflects the era’s enthusiasm for cultural discovery through air travel. David Klein’s TWA...
