Description
Edward McKnight Kauffer (American, 1890–1954), one of the most prolific and influential graphic designers of the twentieth century, first attended art school in the United States. Later, he was able to further his studies in Paris. Cubism, Futurism, and Surrealism found expression in his posters. At the outbreak of the First World War, Kauffer moved from Paris to London, where he gained his first commissions from the Underground. During the next twenty-five years, Kauffer also worked for Shell, the Great Western Railway, the Empire Marketing Board, and the Post Office. His designs ranged from book jackets and illustrations to stage sets and textiles, but it is for his London Transport posters that he will always be remembered.
The images reproduced in this folio are from the London Transport Museum, one of the finest poster archives in the world.
