Facts on E. McKnight Kauffer from Wikipedia: Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890 �1954) was an American-born artist noted for his avant-garde graphic design and poster art, especially in Britain. He was born on in 1890, in Great Falls, Montana. By 1910 he had moved to San Francisco working as a bookseller and studying art at the California School of Design from 1910 to 1912. At around this time Professor Joseph McKnight of the University of Utah became aware of Kauffer's work, sponsored him and paid to send him to Paris for further study. In gratitude Kauffer took his sponsor's name as a middle name. Kauffer stopped in Chicago for six months in 1912-1913 and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. While there he visited the Armory Show, one of the first major exhibitions to introduce the styles of modernism to American viewers. It seems likely that this had a major impact on Kauffer, who would work in many of the same styles throughout his career. He arrived in Paris in 1913 and studied at the Acad�mie Moderne until 1914. At the beginning of WW1 Kauffer moved to London and remained there for most of his career. He was briefly associated with Robert Bevan�s Cumberland Market Group. Kauffer may be best known for the 140 posters that he produced for London Underground, and later London Transport, The posters span many styles: many show abstract influences, including futurism, cubism, and vorticism; others evoke impressionist influences such as Japanese woodcuts. He created posters for Shell Oil and other commercial clients, and also illustrated books and book covers. Later he also became interested in textiles, interior design and theatrical design. He returned to New York City in 1940 at the beginning of WW2 and tried to find work in advertising. He struggled in the more competitive atmosphere there, until he was approached to do a series of posters for American Airlines in 1947. American Airlines remained his primary client until his death in 1954. This is part 1 of 3-part post on the works of E. McKnight Kauffer:
