New York – Fly TWA by David Klein, 1970

David Klein’s 1970 travel poster is a vibrant, graphic love letter to the Big Apple, designed to make you want to book a TWA flight immediately. The Statue of Liberty looms large with a stylized, copper-toned face, serving as a backdrop for a chaotic but charming collage of New York icons like the purple, stained-glass-like spires of St. Patrick's Cathedral and a gritty tugboat. Klein, originally a fine artist, simplified his abstract expressionist style to create these bold images that defined the look of mid-century air travel. It promises that New York is a city of monumental scale and endless energy, just a flight away.
