Major David Klein Works:
TWA Travel Posters:
Klein’s most celebrated creations were his posters for TWA during the 1950s and 1960s. These pieces transformed destinations into dazzling visions of culture and excitement, from the bustling energy of _New York / Fly TWA_ (1956) with its bold depiction of the Statue of Liberty, to the neon brilliance of _Las Vegas / Fly TWA_ (1963), and the allure of _Hollywood / Fly TWA_. Each design distilled the essence of a place into a powerful visual statement, making air travel an aspirational experience.
Broadway and Hollywood Illustrations:
Beyond aviation, Klein produced posters and promotional materials for Broadway shows and Hollywood films. His theatrical works, including designs for _Brigadoon_, _The Music Man_, and _Cat on a Hot Tin Roof_, revealed his ability to merge illustration with dramatic storytelling, cementing his reputation across both the travel and entertainment industries.
Air Force Art Collection:
During World War II, Klein served in the U.S. Army and created artworks documenting military life. Many of these pieces were later preserved in the Air Force Art Collection, showcasing a different but equally important dimension of his career.
