ANONYMOUS OUT IN FRONT. 1929. 391/2x33 inches. Mather, Chicago. Condition B: repaired tears, creases and overpainting in image. Two orange speedboats, shadowed in lavender, are racing through green and blue water, leaving sprays of wake behind them; lettering in green and white. From 1923-1929, the Mather Company produced a series of posters which owner Charles Mather deemed "Constructive Organization Posters." They have since come to be known as the Mather Work Incentive Posters. "Aimed at improving the work practices of employees in industry and commerce" in the boom times following the First World War, Mather combined striking, bold graphics, direct messages and superb lithography to create "one of the most outstanding continuous series of graphically significant posters ever produced in America." (FAMLI).
