About the artwork
This page presents "The Torchbearers: Acts 1 and 3 (Wall Panels)" (1934-1943), created by Nels Astner. Background on Illustration: The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are often described as a golden age of book and magazine illustration. Illustration serves a text or a story, a tradition that runs from decorated medieval manuscripts to printed book plates, magazines, and posters. About the period around 1934-1943: Posters, magazines, and illustrated books were major ways for the public to meet new art and design. Dada and Surrealism followed the First World War, the Bauhaus school was founded in 1919, and Art Deco became the fashionable decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s. It is listed in the Illustration collection. The image is in landscape orientation.
"The Torchbearers: Acts 1 and 3 (Wall Panels)" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
