In homage to America's National Parks and their iconic art posters, this volume features new artwork for seventy-five parks and monuments across all fifty states.
"In this sepia-tinged homage" to the iconic National Parks posters "modern artists contribute dazzling new graphics" ( Entertainment Weekly).
From 1935 to 1943, the WPA's Federal Art Project hired American artist to create posters celebrating the National Parks Service. The icon See America posters inspired Americans to fall in love with the country's landmarks and wild spaces from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Gateway Arch and from the Grand Canyon to the Great Smokey Mountains.
Originally published to coincide with the centennial anniversary of the National Parks Service, the Creative Action Network has partnered with the National Parks Conservation Association to revive and reimagine the legacy of WPA travel posters. Artists from all over the world participated in the creation of this new, crowdsourced collection of See America posters for a modern era.
