PAOLO FEDERICO GARRETTO (1903-1989) ITALIAN LINE. 1937. 36 1/4x23 3/4 inches, 92x60 1/4 cm. Condition B+ / B: creases, abrasions, restoration and overpainting in margins and image; restored losses at edges. Silkscreen. Born in Italy, Garretto moved to Paris in the 1930s. In his early career he was known as a caricaturist of actors and politicians, but by 1934, was regularly designing covers for Vanity Fair. In constant demand, he travelled back and forth between Paris and London, and spent four months every year working in America, where he received frequent assignments from such media giants as J. Walter Thompson, N.Y. Ayer and McCann Erickson. This is one of several posters Garretto designed for the shipping line that were printed in America.
