EDWARD MCKNIGHT KAUFFER IRELAND / AMERICAN AIRLINES. 1948. 40x30 inches. Condition A: repaired tears in margins, some slightly affecting image. Born in Montana, Kauffer lived and worked in England for much of his life. He left England twice, once in 1921 and then again in 1940, as a result of World War II. On both occasions he returned to America where he never quite felt at home. One of his last advertising campaigns was for American Airlines, for whom he produced landscapes much as he had done for the London Underground 25 years earlier. These later posters reflect his maturity and experience as one of the century's most renowned designers.
