In the Post World War ll era, Howard Hughes, the owner of TWA was a dominant force in expanding and promoting the routes flown by his company. As the economy was vastly improving, airline travel for business and pleasure was on the upswing and posters such as this were instrumental in promoting this form of travel. This Hawaii poster was created by the gifted American artist David Klein (1918 -2005), and depicts a composed images that assemble into the shape of a ukelele. Look closely to notice a curling wave, a lei, the coastline of Waikiki, and local women in this psychedelic design.
Klein was best known for his influential work in advertising. Although he produced illustrations for Broadway theatrical productions, Hollywood films, the United States Army, and numerous corporate clients, Klein is best remembered for the iconic travel images he created for Howard Hughes and Trans World Airlines (TWA) during the 1950's and 1960's.
