1930s-1960s bottlecaps

Some Beautiful Music Sheet Covers by Einar Nerman from made between 1912-1932 I love the simplicity of these many artist think detail is needed to make art pieces good but Nerman’s designs are examples of how less is more the strong simple character designs,simple one color backgrounds that blend into the characters and beautiful staging.

Let’s start off with more Fleischer promotional art. Why do I find these so fascinating? Perhaps because they echo a time that is so definitely over, yet through these ads, it speaks, it winks, it’s going about its business, like the 1930s never ended.

I mean, place the ads in context: Marilyn Monroe is a little kid. World War II hasn’t started yet. Amelia Earhart flies from Honolulu to Oakland, Ca. The board game, Monopoly debuts.

These ads are like insects encased in amber.
