About The Poster: A lovely poster designed by William Ward Beeche for TWA, advertising their Boston destination. Notice the cute mouse in the upper left corner...charming! We also love the Bostonian harbour view. Designed by the prolific William Ward Beecher, “a leading exponent in the 20th century American school of "Trompe l'oeil." Beecher combines his skill in achieving an uncanny sense of dimension with a meticulous technique and an earthy sensitivity that results in works that do more than "deceive the eye". His paintings are simple and yet profound statements. Carefully chosen symbols and a superb design sense lead the eye and provoke an emotional response that grows and subtly changes with further observation. Beecher's career effectively began with an exhibition in the 8th Air Force (in which he served in World War II). Since then, the New York born artist has shown from the Metropolitan Museum in New York - to the San Francisco Palace Of The Legion Of Honor.” (http://www.williamwardbeecher.com/)
