Edward Penfield (1866-1925)
Orient Cycles. ca. 1895. SIZE: 26 1/4 x 40 in./66.7 x 101.6 cm PRINTER: J. Ottmann, New York DESCRIPTION: Best known for his Harper’s series, this is one of three spectacular bicycle posters produced by Penfield in a larger format. It’s not just the size: they "show the true genius of the artist. In these and other posters, Penfield can be compared most favorably to Lautrec—his figures are at once introspective and yet powerful, gathering their impact from a delicate balance in composition and the use of wide areas of flat colors” (Bicycle Posters, p. 10). This poster was exhibited in "Posters American Style," 1999, National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC (Nr. 77). (Art Nouveau; Bicycles; American)
