Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Victor Proetz
Victor Proetz (1897-1966) was an American artist and designer whose career defied easy categorisation. Though he trained as an architect, Proetz found his niche creating whimsical and often surreal drawings, murals, and advertising campaigns. He is perhaps best known for his work with the St. Louis advertising agency Gardner Advertising, where he brought a distinctive artistic flair to campaigns for clients like Anheuser-Busch. His style blended Art Deco elegance with a playful surrealism, setting his work apart from the mainstream. Proetz's unique vision extended beyond advertising. He designed interiors, furniture, and even theatrical sets, always with a touch of the unexpected. His murals, often featuring fantastical landscapes and figures, can still be found in select locations, testaments to his enduring artistic legacy. While not a household name, Victor Proetz's impact on American design and illustration is undeniable, influencing generations of artists with his imaginative approach. Collectors are increasingly drawn to Victor Proetz's distinctive aesthetic. His prints offer a glimpse into a world where the boundaries between art, design, and advertising blur. Owning a Proetz print is not just about acquiring a beautiful image; it's about embracing a spirit of playful creativity and celebrating an artist who dared to challenge convention.
