A striking Art Nouveau lithograph by Edward Penfield, 'Two Roosters in a Field' features bold outlines and a simplified colour palette, perfect for adding a touch of vintage charm to your home.

Edward Penfield's 'Two Roosters in a Field', created in 1898, exemplifies the artist's mastery of poster design and his embrace of the Art Nouveau aesthetic. Penfield, an influential figure in American illustration, served as the art director for Harper's Weekly and Harper's Bazaar, where he honed his distinctive style. This lithograph showcases two roosters standing prominently in a field, set against a stylised landscape of rolling hills and a speckled sky. The composition is strikingly simple, yet the bold outlines and flat planes of colour create a visually arresting image. Penfield's work often drew inspiration from Japanese woodblock prints, evident in the flattened perspective and decorative elements. The limited colour palette, dominated by earthy yellows, deep blues, and stark whites, enhances the poster's graphic impact. As a fine art print, 'Two Roosters in a Field' brings a touch of vintage charm and sophisticated design to any interior. Its clean lines and harmonious colours make it a versatile piece, suitable for a variety of spaces, from the kitchen to the study. The print's timeless appeal lies in its ability to blend artistic elegance with a touch of rustic simplicity, making it a delightful addition to any art collection.

Edward Penfield

Imagine shocking fin-de-siècle New Yorkers by boldly signing your posters – a radical act of self-promotion in an era when artists often remained anonymous. That was Edward Penfield, the 'Poster King,' who transformed American illustration with his striking designs. Penfield wasn't just creating advertisements; he was crafting miniature masterpieces that captured the spirit of a rapidly changing nation. Penfield embraced simplicity and strong, flat colours, drawing inspiration from Japanese prints and the Arts and Crafts movement. Eschewing excessive detail, he focused on conveying the essence of a scene or product with minimal lines and bold compositions. His posters, often promoting *Harper's* magazine, exude a sophisticated charm and a distinctly American sensibility. Penfield's innovative approach to composition and colour made his work instantly recognisable and highly influential. Today, Edward Penfield's posters are celebrated for their timeless appeal and graphic ingenuity. His ability to distill complex ideas into visually arresting images continues to inspire designers and artists. Collectors are drawn to Penfield's work not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its historical significance as a window into a bygone era of American optimism and artistic innovation. His prints add a touch of vintage elegance and graphic punch to any modern space.
