Description
These posters are an unprecedented fusion of oriental and occidental styles. Clearly they were heavily influenced by Chinese art from the late 19th century and Art Nouveau & Art Deco.
Shanghai, already a huge international economic center in the 1920’s, was ground zero for these varied and often risqué advertisements. Originally intended as ephemeral promotions for the vast array of products that flooded China’s newly opened economy, these ads have had a lasting influence in the region, still seen in some ways today.
Pre-ww2 Shanghai posters are as distinct a genre as anything that came out of Europe from the 1880’s through the 1930’s. Unconventional and sloppy by Western standards, these unique works of advertising art are nevertheless a cultural treasure, not just for China, but the entire world.
A nice poster in nice condition. Approx.31”x19.5”
