Additional Details: This poster features Victory Day, May 1919 (also known as Flags on Victory Day) by renowned American Impressionist painter Childe Hassam. Originally painted in 1919, the work captures the jubilant atmosphere along Fifth Avenue in New York City as crowds celebrated the end of World War I. A key example from Hassam’s celebrated “Flag Series,” the composition reflects his mastery of light, movement, and urban energy. Vibrant flags cascade across the facades of city buildings, creating a rhythmic interplay of color and form that conveys both national pride and the vitality of modern life. This series remains among the most iconic visual records of wartime patriotism in American art. This poster was produced for the exhibition Selected Works from the Academy’s Collection, held from November 16, 1981 through January 31, 1982 at the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters in New York City. It serves as both a tribute to Hassam’s enduring legacy and a fine example of exhibition poster design from the pre-digital poster era, when quality printing and institutional collaboration were paramount. An evocative and historically rich image, this piece appeals to collectors of American Impressionism, New York imagery, and museum exhibition posters alike. Framing available upon request.
