Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spurred by innovations in printing technology, the modern poster emerged in the 1890s as a popular form of visual culture in the United States. Created by some of the best-known illustrators and graphic designers of the period—including Will H. Bradley, Florence Lundborg, Edward Penfield, and Ethel Reed—these advertisements for books and high-tone periodicals such as Harper’s and Lippincott’s went beyond the realm of commercial art, incorporating bold, stylized imagery and striking typography. This book, based on the renowned Leonard A. Lauder Collection, explores the craze for literary posters, which became sought after collectibles even in their day. It offers new scholarly perspectives that address the aesthetic sophistication and modernity of the literary poster; the impact of early experiments in the field of advertising psychology; the expanded opportunities for women artists, who played an important role in advancing the so-called poster style; and the printmaking techniques that artists employed in this novel art form. A lively survey of a little-known but highly influential period in graphic design, The Art of the Literary Poster is sure to delight enthusiasts of illustration, advertising, and book arts.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... defect. No French poster designer is either ashamed to sign his drawings, or is precluded from doing so by the advertiser. He does not consider he is debasing his art in descending to the decoration of the hoardings; but rather that, in giving his best, he is ennobling the poster and spreading abroad a knowledge of the beautiful. In this account of French posters and their makers many names must necessarily be omitted, but those mentioned are fairly typical examples ofthe best practisers of French art. Collectors will perhaps miss such names as Lorrain, Gervais, Gerbault, Meunier, Anquetin, Artigue, Beylac, Bonnard, Choubrac, Clairin, Forain, Fraipont, Gausson, Giran, Goissard, Guerard, Guyot, juillerat, Lefevre, Lepur, Lunel, Marten, Michele, Nelaton, Oge, Sinet, Vallotton, Verneuil, and a score of other industrious workers who have contributed delightful examples of their art to posterdom. These artists individually have not been prolific, and their work presents no features that have not been fully illustrated in the references to the posters of their busier confreres. XII SPANIsH Pos'rERs THE art of the poster is now well established in the Peninsula, where a flourishing school is located in Barcelona, the acknowledged centre of all art-movement in Spain; and taking into consideration the geographical position of that city, it is no doubt safe to assume that it has received its art-stimulus from its northern neighbour, France, the birthplace and nursery of the artistic poster. The work of these Spanish assichistes is so good, and shows so much variety, resource, _and originality, that it will be profitable to examine it in detail. Of Spanish placardists, undoubtedly A. de Riquer stands first...

Book excerpt: This stunningly illustrated book examines the history of poster design and its relation to the arts and broader culture. The poster is a versatile marketing tool widely used from the 19th century to today for everything from political events to movies. A good poster has many layers, it goes beyond advertising and makes statements about style, history, fashion, and taste at the time. It is these layers that can turn a poster into a work of art. This book showcases 480 posters by more than 200 artists and designers and tells a comprehensive history of the poster. The book includes Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Pop art, and contemporary posters from preeminent artists such as Alphonse Mucha, Egon Schiele, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol and from noted designers ranging from Lucian Bernhard and A.M. Cassandre to Saul Bass, Tadanori Yokoo, and Stefan Sagmeister. The book also introduces many other leading poster designers whose names are less well-known. Contemporary advertisements for Calvin Klein, United Colors of Benetton, and Coachella are also explored. By tracing the history of the poster, this book shows social developments throughout the world and illuminates how art styles have changed over time.

Book excerpt: For over two hundred years, posters have been displayed in public places all over the world.
