'Florida - Fly TWA'
A lively mid-century TWA travel poster by David Klein, capturing the sunshine, beaches, and resort architecture of Florida—most likely Miami Beach—with a bold central motif of oversized sunglasses set against a radiant sunburst. The bright palette and stylised forms reflect Klein’s signature jet-age aesthetic, developed during his prolific work for TWA in the 1950s–60s. Born in El Paso and trained at the Art Center School in Los Angeles, Klein worked in advertising, theatre, film, and military illustration, but achieved lasting fame for the iconic travel posters he created under Howard Hughes’s tenure at TWA. This Florida design is a classic example of his mature style and remains one of the most decorative and desirable posters from the airline’s golden era of graphic design.
