WILLIAM DE MAJO (1917-1993). FLY BSAA TO SOUTH AMERICA. 1948. 39x24 inches, 100x62 cm.
Est: $600 - $900
WILLIAM DE MAJO (1917-1993) FLY BSAA TO SOUTH AMERICA. 1948. 39 1/2x24 1/2 inches, 100 1/4x62 1/4 cm. Condition A-: minor creases and restoration in margins and image; minor skinning in upper right corner. BSAA split from the British Overseas Aircraft Corporation (BOAC) in 1946 to operate in the South Atlantic. It merged back with BOAC in 1949 after a series of unlucky incidents, in which two of their planes disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. Born in Vienna, William de Majo opened his first studio in Belgrade before emigrating to Britain, where he worked as a broadcaster with the BBC Overseas Service. During World War II, he served as a pilot with the Royal Yugoslav Air Force. His understanding of business and production methods is reflected in his work, which displays an efficient clarity of vision. Here, de Majo translates a message in a graphically complex, yet deceptively simple manner. De Majo was highly influential in the establishment of ICOGRADA (International Council of Graphic Design Associations) and was its first president.
