Edward Penfield (1866-1925) was a prominent American illustrator and poster artist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is considered a key figure in the American Art Nouveau movement and is best known for his striking and innovative poster designs, particularly those created for Harper's Magazine. Penfield's style is characterised by bold lines, flat colours, and a sophisticated sense of composition. He often depicted fashionable figures in elegant settings, capturing the spirit of the era with a distinctive graphic flair. 'Woman Holding a Horse Racing Ticket' exemplifies Penfield's signature style. The lithograph features a stylish woman in a green dress and a man in a tuxedo, standing beside a horse wearing a distinctive checkered head covering. The scene evokes the excitement and glamour of horse racing events during the Gilded Age. Penfield's use of flat colours and simplified forms creates a visually arresting image that is both modern and timeless. This print would make a sophisticated addition to any home. Its elegant composition and vibrant colours would complement a variety of interior styles, from classic to contemporary.

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.
