TOMI UNGERER [GROUP OF 3 POSTERS.] 1967. 19 1/2x27 inches. Condition varies, generally A. Tomi Ungerer was born in Strasbourg and emigrated to America in 1956. He lived in New York for 13 years, then he moved to Canada, and finally settled in Ireland. Ungerer has worked in just about every medium available to graphic designers. He has designed posters, illustrated numerous books for adults and children, and produced sculptures and other objects d'art. His limitless imagination and creativity take his work from the gentlest images for children to the most violently satirical style. During his time in the U.S., he was an activist for many human rights issues, including opposition to racism (see Swann Modernist Poster catalogue #1897, lot 109) and the war in Vietnam (ibid, lot 110). Many of his strongest posters were widely distributed by Unicorn Press, a company he founded with his friend Richard Kosak. These images had an important impact on the public (so much so that Ungerer had to flee to Canada in 1971). Group includes Kiss for Peace, [Tank] and [Lady].
