"Rhead was one of the first poster artists to gain an international reputation.
Born in England he was quite active in London, New York and Paris with equal success:
his exhibition of posters in New York in 1895 was America's first, and was well
received. He was heavily influenced by Grasset, whom he admired and met while
in Paris" (Rennert, PAI-XXVI 513)
This New York Sun newspaper poster, for which Rhead did several posters, shows
a young elegant woman dressed in the fashion of the day, skating on a frozen river
against a setting sun. The lettering of the text "Read The Sun" is reflected
delicately on the ice surface. A beautiful design with well-balanced colours that
speak directly to us. | |
