20x13 3/4 inches, 51x35 cm. Crane Howard Litho. Co.

Bright, bold and daring, this decadent cubist-influenced image is an electric, microcosmic view of one of America's avant-garde artistic communities. Presaging the psychedelic posters of the 1960s and reflecting many of the concurrent graphic art trends in Europe, this poster, and indeed the entire series for the club's yearly balls, stand out as exciting and innovative American design.
