A minimalist mid-century poster that is perfect in its simplicity and refinement. We think it would look fabulous in almost any room, office, lobby … any place that needs a pop of color and vintage whimsy.

A bit of playing card trivia: It has been suggested that the first cards may have been actual paper currency which doubled as both the tools of gaming and the stakes being played for, similar to trading card games. Using paper money was inconvenient and risky so they were substituted by “money cards”. One of the earliest games in playing cards were used for which we know the rules is madiao, a trick-taking game which dates to the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644).”

Recently linen-backed, this poster is in excellent condition and would look fabulous framed.

Moishe Smith 1957. [American 1929-1993].
“The Four Seasons: Autumn.” Etching. Titled, numbered, signed and dated in pencil below.

Moishe smith has been featured in many museums and one of the few of this print remains at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.

Moishe Smith was born on January 10, 1929, in Chicago, Illinois. He was a printmaker whose naturalistic realism style interprets the scene for his viewer. His command of the intaglio plate was profound and in print, after print, he displayed his understanding of how to use it to evoke a peaceful landscape or a vibrant city square. He was not a miniaturist, his plates were large and his compositions simple, yet his prints had at the same time a sense of intimacy and a feeling of spaciousness. They were complex without being fussy, allusive without being obscure. His feeling for landscape had been evident from his works. Moishe Smith studied at the New School for Social Research and with Mauricio Lasansky at the University of Iowa. He also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine.

Smith has focused on landscape as the subject of much of his work, but romantic city views are also found within the range of his graphics. In Kafka-ville: A View of Prague, he etched a bird’s-eye-view of the Czechoslovakian city, recording in detail the varied architectural forms that are found side by side in the old metropolis. Until his death in 1993, Moishe Smith lived in Utah and taught art at Utah State University.
