Beckman was one of Sweden's foremost graphic designers. Amongst his major clients was AB Aerotransport (ABA), Sweden's first airline company, which eventually became SAS. Beckman was renowned not only for his poster work, but also for the Pavilion he designed for the 1939 New York World's Fair and many other international exhibitions and events. In 1939, he founded the Anders Beckman School to train up-and-coming Swedish youth in fashion and advertising design. Voyage p. 157, Art of Skiing np.
