About The Poster: This vintage poster is an advertisement for EL AL Israel Airlines made by the Israeli artist Paul Kor.
In the aftermath of World War II – when poster design was deemed the “Princess of Graphic Art” – Paul Kor geared his career towards creating posters for advertising firms. By 1949 his designs were plastered across billboards throughout the whole of Israel. But it was not until 1952, after winning a prize for a poster he created in honor of Israel's second Independence Day, that his career really began to soar. He started reigning in commissions to design posters for major governmental organizations and some of the most widely recognized, international companies... No matter the project, his creations always showcased a great deal of color and humor as well as many of the stylistic and fashion trends of a particular time period. Having studied under the guidance of French poster artist Paul Colin, he was also familiar with a variety of different techniques for making his work powerful, eye-catching and in some cases, linguistically diverse. As a polyglot, he was able to creatively incorporate languages such as English, French, Swiss-German and Hebrew. (Source: https://www.paulkor.com/posters-ads)
