New York Tennis - Art Deco 1930s - Vintage Poster
A tennis player in profile takes up the left third, racket diagonal against a background of ivory black, a brick-red band and an ochre yellow sun disc above the New York skyline.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco posters often combined geometric silhouettes with simplified skylines, the solar motif evoking speed and modernity. Artists like A. M. Cassandre developed sans-serif typefaces in the 1930s; capital lettering on a contrasting band improved legibility and graphic impact. The Empire State Building, inaugurated on 1 May 1931, quickly became a visual emblem of the 1930s and appears here as a silhouette.
