About the Item
"Earth Day 1991 New York City" color commemorative poster designed by well-known graphic design Seymour Chwast. Great vintage condition. Offered unframed. Ships rolled. Paper Size 33.5 x 21.5 inches.
Original vintage print paper: Fox River Circa Select, 80 LB cover "Burlap Supplied by Fax River Paper Company. Printed with vegetable-based inks on recycled paper by Eco-Support Graphics/Haff & Daughterty.
On yellow ground, the main image is an illustration of the head of the Statue of Liberty, the points of her crown made up of components related to recycling and activism; from left to right: a fountain pen inscribed with the word "Write," a curving green arrow inscribed with the word "REUSE," a red brick chimney divided in half emitting smoke inscribed with the words "SAVE THE AIR," the Empire State Building with a bouquet emerging from the top, an arm raising a sign inscribed with the word "PROTEST," a brown glass bottle with the word "RECYCLE" inscribed on the label, a metal faucet tap with dripping water inscribed with the word "CONSERVE." A speech bubble to the left of the Statue of Liberty's mouth has the printed words: ACT / NOW!;
As co-founder of Push Pin Studios with fellow graphic designers Milton Glaser, Edward Sorel, and Reynold Ruffins, Seymour Chwast worked on various projects, including poster designs, book illustrations, and magazine covers. His illustrations are characterized by his playful and expressive style. He is known for his Push Pin Style—the diverse union of illustration and design derived, according to Chwast, not from premeditation but from the requisites of the assignments themselves.
In 1985, he was awarded the AIGA Medal, given to individuals for their outstanding contribution to the field of design. His posters are in public permanent collections such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, England.

- City of York PosterLocated in Los Angeles, CAThis vintage poster was printed in 1971 in Germany, to celebrate another year of summer camp in England for their youth. This summer camp was dedicated to teaching young children the meaning of service and education. We can imagine the joy within the children when they got the news about summer camp being back in season. It is a heartwarming feeling to see art directed towards the growth of our youth. It has a classic block print style to it, and has aged nicely for the vintage look. It is sandwiched in plexiglass with a board supporting the back of it. This would look great inside of a library, school, or home. Dimensions: 27.5"H x 19.75"W We do local delivery close or in Los Angeles. Will calculate shipping...Category
