"The art poster in America was mainly a product of the publishing
trade, and by the mid 1890's, posters had become an accepted extension
of a publisher's normal activities. To herald a book of 'society verses'
titled 'When Hearts are Trumps' the Chicago firm of Stone and Kimball
publishers of 'The Chap book' and American issuers of 'The Yellow
book' turned to Bradley. He came up with this vaguely disturbing,
erotic image. A besotted faun and nymph entwined with grapevines and
each other." (Rennert, PAI-XX,
156)
"Bradley designed a curvilinear, Beardleyesque poster printed in vermilion
and green for Tom Hall's 'When Heart's are Trumps'…this poster is one of
the masterpieces of Art Nouveau style in America" (Lauder,
p.17) | |
