David Klein was an American illustrator known for his advertising projects for Broadway and Hollywood, but where he excelled was in creating travel posters for Howard Huges' Trans World Airlines (TWA) in the 1950s and 1960s. His work for TWA earned him numerous awards and honors. His use of bold colors, abstract depictions of famous landmarks, cultural motifs, and their design defined the poster line of the era. His works capture the excitement and enthusiasm of early air travel during the postwar economic boom. This poster, used in a travel agency in Austin, Texas, features a Lockheed Constellation aircraft flying over an abstract rendition of Times Square in New York City at the top.
