ARTHUR C. MICHAEL (DATES UNKNOWN) THE BROADS. 1937. 39x49 inches, 99x124 1/2 cm. Perry's Advertising. Condition A / A-: vertical and horizontal folds. Framed. A painter, etcher and illustrator, Michael is best known for the posters he designed for the LNER railroad. Whether depicting sports, beach scenes or elegant evening tableaux, his subjects are vivaciously rendered in a style which radiates England's optimism in the best tradition of pre-war travel posters. His realistic style, a contemporary Art Deco mannerism, focuses as much on fashion as it does on lifestyle. rare
