Eastern advertising pinup art from the 20s and 30s

POSTED BY Luke ON 17 AUG 2010 @ 10:39 AM


I recently stumbled across the Old Orient Museum where the digital re-toucher Lexington Harper has beautifully restored Japanese and Chinese advertising posters from the 20s and 30s. It's interesting to see their interpretation of the illustrative pin-up model that dominated advertising material in the West at the time. The illustrations, colour and layout are fantastic.
