- Allison Rudnick — Associate Curator, Drawings and Prints, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
During the 1890s, a new type of poster emerged in the United States, one that more closely resembled a work of art than an advertisement. Thanks to recent advancements in printing techniques, artists could create colorful, inventive compositions that seamlessly integrated text and images. This talk will be given in conjunction with the upcoming exhibition and related catalog, The Art of the Literary Poster: Works from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
