ABRAM GAMES (1914-1996) HE WANTED TO SEE INSIDE. 1943. HORSE PLAY WITH WEAPONS. 1942. Two posters. Sizes vary. Condition varies, each approximately B+: foxing in image. Largely self-taught, Games opened his studio in 1936 and, before the war, was already designing posters for major clients such as Shell, The London Transport and The National Post-Office. In 1942, during the war, he was appointed the official war poster designer, in which capacity he created more than 100 posters, and became the key person for British war communication. At times during this terrible period, his strong design became influenced by an incomparably morbid surrealism. These two posters exemplify Games' unique nightmarish approach in this series. ref: Foto Plakate<>, by Joseph Muller Brockmann & Karl Wobmann, AT Verlag Aaran 1989, p. 36 -40.
