This enamel pin features a detail from National Parks/Winter Sports, 1935, by Dorothy Waugh.
The posters Dorothy Waugh created for the National Park Service between 1934 and 1936 mark a turning point in American graphic design and advertising history. Previous posters for National Parks were mainly created by railroad companies, but Waugh advocated for the government to produce its own campaign with a modernist bent. The resulting series of posters, at once avant-garde and accessible, put Waugh at the forefront of the government’s increasingly expansive presence in American visual culture.
In her Winter series, Waugh dispensed with majestic scenery and wildlife in favor of stylized figures reveling in a panoply of winter sports.
Measures 2 x 1.5 inches. Double posted.
