Krasnyansky added paper texture as a component of his watercolors. With this new process, Krasnyansky added texture and depth to the watercolor medium and expanded its expressive possibilities to a level usually associated with oil painting. Biography He was born in Kiev, growing up and living during the times when Ukraine was a part of the U.S.S.R. Krasnyansky received master's degrees in fine art and architecture. He found that the freedom of expression that he needed in his artwork could not be found within the strictures of the Soviet Union and moved to the United States in 1975. In the U.S., Krasnyansky found valuable use for his knowledge of architecture, design and his imagination. and found success in multiple artistic pursuits. Almost surreal, Krasnyansky’s figures are recognizable form while incorporating elements of his Eastern heritage, the cubist ideas of Picasso and Braque, and as well as American culture. Accomplishments Krasnyansky began working as a scenic artist for ABC and CBS, including the production of two Academy Awards shows. He became a set designer for Universal Studios (credits including The Blues Brothers and Battlestar Galactica...

Original Pan American Mexico vintage travel poster
By Edward McKnight Kauffer

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.
