David Klein ( 1918 - 2005 ) was an American artist, best known for his influential work in advertising. Although he produced illustrations for Broadway theatrical productions, Hollywood films, The United States Army, and numerous corporate clients, he is best remembered for the iconic travel images he created for Howard Hughes and Trans World Airlines ( TWA ) during the 1950's and 1960's.
By the mid 1950's, Klein had established a reputation as one of America's preeminent commercial illustrators. However, his most lasting contribution to the art world came in the following decade as he applied his talent to the world of commercial travel.
Between 1955 - 1965, he designed numerous award winning travel advertisement posters, many of which are now emblematic of the Mid Century Modern " Jet Age ". Klein produced the bulk of this work for Howard Hughes and TWA, illustrating dozens of posters advertising travel throughout The United Sates and abroad. Through his TWA work, Klein earned additional recognition when The Museum of Modern Art New York, added Klein's TWA poster work to their permanent collection.
The rare out of print Mid Century Modern framed collector's airline travel poster measures 25 1/4" W X 40 1/2" H X 1 3/8" D. It is custom framed with UV protective plexiglass in a Modernist style brushed brass finish metal frame molding, with an attached hanging wire on the reverse back side for easy wall installation.
It is in excellent " like new " condition. The poster print is in excellent " like new " vintage condition consistent with age and very light signs of handling.
