KEES VAN DER LAAN AVIA. 1937.
323/4x241/2 inches. Kuhn & Zoon, Rotterdam.
Condition B+: vertical and horizontal folds; pin holes in corners; ink stamps and writing in lower right corner.
A dramatic, close-up view of the engines on an aircraft to promote an aviation exhibition in The Hague. An unofficial acolyte of Cassandre, Van der Laan's posters reflect a versatility with the airbrush and an unbiased affinity for transportation in the Machine Age. His love of flight is especially apparent as the majority of his posters feature aircraft.
