T. M. JOANETHIS DARTMOUTH WINTER CARNIVAL. 1938.
333/8x217/8 inches.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears in margins; pinholes in corners.
Seen dramatically from below (in a pose imitating Sascha Maurer's famous image for the New Haven Railroad), a dynamic image of a skier, in blue with a red hat and gloves, virtually exploding out of the poster. Too fast for the poster, one of his brown skis is outside the frame, while the other protrudes into the text. Whether coming over a mogul or off a jump is unclear, but this stylized skier presents a compelling image of power and confidence.
