Società inglese

1897

Edward Penfield, direttore artistico di Harper's Magazine, era una star del movimento americano dei manifesti, e questo design del 1897 per «English Society» di George Du Maurier mostra esattamente perché. Con forme audaci e piatte e un netto contrasto in bianco e nero, crea la sagoma di un distinto gentiluomo che stringe un terrier arruffato, una perfetta sintesi visiva della vita dell'alta società britannica. È minimalista, grafico e incredibilmente moderno per la fine del XIX secolo, dimostrando che non servono mille colori per fare una dichiarazione. Questo stile ha contribuito a definire l'aspetto dell'Art Nouveau americano, allontanandosi dai dettagli complicati verso grafiche audaci e leggibili.
