BEST '40s tie series ever

[Marc Chevalier]

.

You can keep your Dali ties. I'd prefer to have THIS: the '40s Panorama of America tie series. - http://www.geocities.com/knot.geo/gary.html


There's an interesting story behind it. The series of 48 ties -- each representing a state of the Union -- was designed for Raxon in the '40's/'50's by the noted American artist, Georges Schreiber. Schreiber traveled across all 48 states of his adopted country, having immigrated here as a young man. He produced WWII posters, magazine and book illustrations, fabric designs, fine oil paintings, and prints, including several for the Association of American Artists.

I have one. I'll get a shot of it later.

The first row is cool. I like the ocean theme. (But I still want a Dali tie.)
One of these days I will design a few of my own I think. Got to locate some blank ties for painting.

Wow! I'd kill for that city skyline tie on the fourth row!

Thanks for posting this M.C.

What I really like about the ties is that the artist truly captures a sense of movement. Even the buildings appear to be in motion.

On another note, he certainly captures the essence of our agrarian heritage.

Even the buildings appear to be in motion.

He musta been painting a city in California.

Schreiber was a very good artist. I've read about these ties and have lazily thought I'd like to try and find a few examples. Thank-you so much for posting them... though you are a terrible tempter of the obsessively aquisitive and my wife (the banker) may not thank you as much.

Knot only one.

Fun Stuff. I wish someone design some like that now. I'd buy. Thanks Marc.
