  • Pictorial Modernism PICTORIAL MONDERNISM
    ANM102 | HISTORY OF GRAPHIC AND WEB DESIGN CHAPTER 14 Pictorial Modernism PICTORIAL MONDERNISM The Beggarstaffs • Brothers-on-law, James Pryde and William Nicholson opened an advertising design studio in 1894 and to protect their reputations as fine artists, they named it The Beggarstaff Brothers. They developed a new technique that was later called collage. By cutting pieces of paper, moving them around and pasting in position on a board, they created flat plans of color where the edges of the shapes were “drawn” with scissors. • Unlike Art Nouveau, the Beggarstaffs forged a new beginning of design focused on powerful colored shapes and silhouettes rather than organic and decorative form. PICTORIAL MODERNISM 2 PICTORIAL MONDERNISM Poster Design in Europe • The European poster in the first half of the 20th century was greatly influenced by the modern-art movements surrealism, cubism, and dadaism. Designers were aware of the need to use pictorial references in their posters as a way to visually enhance and ultimately communicate more persuasively their views. Influenced mostly by cubism and constructivism, poster artists combined expressive and symbolic images as well as total visual organization on the picture plane. William Pickering, title page for the Book of Common Prayer, 1844. PICTORIAL MODERNISM 3 POSTER DESIGN The Beggarstaffs • poster for Harper’s Magazine, 1895 PICTORIAL MODERNISM 4 POSTER DESIGN The Beggarstaffs • poster for Don Quixote, 1896 • never printed because the director/producer of the play felt the image was a bad likeness of Quixote. PICTORIAL MODERNISM 5 POSTER DESIGN Dudley Hardy • British painter who joined The Beggarstaffs in creating posters and advertising design • Theatrical poster for The Gaiety Girl, 1898 • Developed a formula for theatre poster design where letters and images appeared on a flat plane of color PICTORIAL MODERNISM 6 PICTORIAL MONDERNISM Plakastijl • A design school originating in Germany— the name means “poster style.” • The traits of Plakastijl are usually bold, straight lettering with a very simple design.

These pioneering artists defined a never-before-seen and never forgotten art form: the color poster. L’Affichomania explores the achievements of these artists in concert with the poster’s role in French society, which includes its effect on the life of the Parisian street, the rise of advertising, the entertainment district of Montmartre, and the changing representations of women. 1 2 L’AFFICHOMANIA These pioneering artists defined a never-before-seen and never forgotten art form: the color poster.

Together, she and Mucha crafted her public image of a successful, independent woman many times over, ultimately bringing that practice into his other commercial work. 2 Defined by bold, sinuous lines inspired by nature, Art Nouveau celebrated the feminine unbound. In the wake of the Industrial Revolution, “le style Mucha” came to dominate the European and American aesthetic landscape between the 1890s–1910s, and Mucha is credited for bringing the bourgeois sophistication of the Art Nouveau movement to the streets and democratizing it. No longer was this wild, haughty beauty confined to the upper classes. In fact, the women he conjured were so compelling and his technical skill as a lithographic artist so admired that his advertisements were reprinted as home decor, blurring the line between fine and commercial art.

Unlike copper engraving or wood- block printing, the newer printmaking process did not require any cutting into metal or wood. Instead, the artist would draw Tan image onto a flat block of limestone with a greasy crayon. Working with the principle that water and oil don’t mix, the lithographer would then apply water to the stone, followed by a layer of oily ink that would adhere only to the greasy surface. The inked portion of the design produced an image when the block was pressed against the paper. But even with this great innovation in printing technique, lithography’s full impact wasn’t felt until color became part of the process in the mid-19th century.

  • The Posters That Sold World War 1 to the American Public
    The Posters That Sold World War 1 to the American Public A vehemently isolationist nation needed enticement to join the European war effort. These advertisements were part of the campaign to do just that On July 28, 1914, World War 1 officially began when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. In Europe and beyond, country after country was drawn into the war by a web of alliances. It took three years, but on April 2nd, 1917, the US entered the fray when Congress declared war on Germany. The government didn’t have time to waste while its citizens made up their minds about joining the fight. How could ordinary Americans be convinced to participate in the war “Over There”, as one of the most popular songs of the era described it? Posters - which were so well designed and illustrated that people collected and displayed them in fine art galleries - possessed both visual appeal and ease of reproduction. They could be pasted on the sides of buildings, put in the windows of homes, tacked up in the workplaces, and resized to appear above cable car windows and in magazines. And they could easily be reprinted in a variety of languages. To merge this popular form of advertising with key messages about the war, the US government’s public information committee formed a Division of Pictorial Publicity in 1917. The chairman, George Creel, asked Charles Dana Gibson, one of most famous American illustrators of the period, to be his partner in the effort. Gibson, who was president of the Society of Illustrators, reached out to the country’s best illustrators and encouraged them to volunteer their creativity to the war effort.

    World War I and The Art of War: WWI Posters from the Collection of Oscar Jacobson OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The beginnings of World War I (WWI) in Europe began long before the United States joined the Great War. In June of 1914, the Archduke of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were assassi- nated. The Austrians suspected the Serbians, and declared war one month later. The chain reaction after these events are what would become the Great War, or the First World War. The United States did not formally enter the war until it declared war on Germany in 1917. The war had many effects on the United States and Oklahomans before entrance into war in 1917. There were supporters and opponents of the war, opponents of the Selective Service Act, and effects on the United States' economy. Crop prices fell and rose, rations began to conserve for the war, and free speech was ques- tioned. Many of these issues lasted throughout the war.

    Teaching With Poster Art: World War I Posters Lesson Plan Louisiana State Archives 3851 Essen Lane Baton Rouge, LA 70809 225-922-1000 www.sos.la.gov/archives Secretary of State Tom Schedler www.sos.la.gov www.GeauxVote.com Teaching with Poster Art: World War I Posters Lesson Plan This lesson plan is based on the Louisiana State Archives’ World War I poster collection. The Archives' inventory of 168 World War I era posters constitutes one of the largest single collections of these items in the United States. World War I era posters were framed courtesy of Virginia Kilpatrick Shehee in memory of her father, Lonnie Benjamin Kilpatrick. Mr. Kilpatrick enlisted in the United States Army on April 27, 1918, serving as private in the 360th Infantry Texas Brigade, 90th Division. He participated in the battles of St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne in France. Following the war, he resided in Shreveport where he founded and served as president of Kilpatrick Life Insurance Company and Rose-Neath Funeral Home. A Note to Teachers Teachers are cautioned to remember that several of the words, descriptions, and images included in the posters are considered ethnically offensive and/or politically incorrect by today's standards. Prepare students to engage with the posters by explaining that artifacts, such as documents, photographs, political cartoons, and posters, help us recreate our past and understand our history. As evidence of the past, these artifacts express the thoughts, beliefs, opinions, and practices that were common or acceptable during the period in which the artifacts were produced. As students examine such artifacts, encourage them to compare and contrast historical and contemporary society and to think about how and why opinions, practices, and expressions change over time.
