ARTIST: BOBRI (Vladimir Bobritsky, 1898-1986) SIZE: 28 x 41 5/8 in./71.2 x 105.6 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: Bobri puts the squeeze on the earth for Pan American Airlines, cleverly compressing the world at large to cheekily demonstrate how their “7 magic jet hours” service from New York to Europe is so easily achieved. Bobritsky, who signed the majority of his work “Bobri,” was born in Kharkov, Ukraine. Because of the turbulent events of the Revolution, he fled Russia in 1917, never to return. He passed safely into Turkey, supporting himself by designing sets and costumes for the Russian ballet in Istanbul, producing movie posters, and creating iconographic paintings in a monastery. He emigrated to New York in 1921, establishing himself as a fashion illustrator. At the peak of that career in the 1930s and ‘40s, Bobri was a leading artist in New York's burgeoning advertising world—working on such prestigious accounts as Saks Fifth Avenue and Hanes—and was a frequent contributor to the New Yorker, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar. His drawing style was bold, yet elegant, marked by technical refinement and an excellent use of space. (Modern; Aviation; Travel; American)
