Animal Lovers - Vintage Poster Art of Pups, Kitties, & All Our Favorite Critters
If you love animals as we do, then the Animal Lovers vintage poster art collection is the collection for you. Inspired by Art Deco, mod art, and the vintage styles of the Golden Age of Illustration, this collection features over 70 original, handcrafted poster designs of cats, dogs, North American animals, and other favorite, furry friends.
Each poster depicts the hand-styled works and imaginations of Anderson Design Group's poster artists. Each poster design would look fantastic on any wall as a framed print, canvas, metal sign, banner, or retro-styled poster. Ideally suited as home decor or office decorations, the posters from this collection can represent your love for animals while also creating a warm, vintage-styled aura that improves the ambiance of any room.
Check out the Animal Lovers Collection, and read on to find out what inspired our local artists here at our Nashville art studio to create vintage poster art that celebrates the wilder side of life.
We Love Our Animals, Wild and Domestic!
At Anderson Design Group, much of the inspiration for the 62 American National Parks Collection comes from our visits to the parks. One of the benefits of traveling to different National Parks each year is that we get to come face to face with North America's cherished wildlife! And when you've seen these wild animals up close and in person, it gives you an appreciation for them, an appreciation unlike anything you can get just from seeing pictures or videos of such animals.
That's part of the reason why our Nashville art group donates a portion of our profits each year to the National Parks Foundation. When you buy our original artwork, your purchases help conserve the National Parks and all the fantastic creatures that live in them!
And that's just part of the inspiration behind the Animal Lovers collection. Our domestic animal friends also inspired the poster designs of this collection! Dogs, cats, birds, farm animals, zoo animals this collection serves to show our love and appreciation for the canines, felines, and other animals that share our homes, farms, and cities with us.
A Look at the Collection
The beauty of the Animal Lovers collection is that, not only is each poster created from the heart, from the artist's own, personal love for the animal being hand-drawn, painted, and lettered, but this collection also showcases our inspiration in vintage poster art, Art Deco, mod art, Golden Age of Illustration poster designs, and classic oil paintings.
- Vintage Poster Art. Much of the 70+ poster designs in the Animal Lovers collection are inspired by the vintage art styles of the early to mid-20th century. Vintage poster art features the best of early-1900's poster art, travel art, and ad posters. In fact, much of the art designs of the Animal Lovers collection was actually inspired by artwork of the early-1900s.
- Art Deco. Ah, Art Deco. One of our favorite art styles, Art Deco was the predominant decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s. Art Deco was characterized by precise, boldly delineated geometric shapes and lines, as well as powerful colors and sharp imagery. Art Deco can be found not only in the poster art, paintings, and sculptures of the early-1900s, but even buildings built in that era took inspiration from Art Deco (Empire State Building anyone?) The Animal Lovers collection has several poster designs which take inspiration from the magnificence of Art Deco.
- Mod Art. Mod art refers to the art style of the "Mod" subculture, i.e., the customs, fashions, dress, and personality of the beatnik culture in 1950s-era England and America. This art style took inspiration from pop art, Italian art films, and the bright, colorful, diverse, and sometimes moody and almost "trippy" art pieces created by young art students of the time. A few of the poster designs in the Animal Lovers collection takes inspiration from this unique era of youth-created art styles.
- Golden Age of Illustration. The Golden Age of Illustration refers to the art styles of the 1880s to the 1940s. This period marked an unprecedented shift in art, created in part by new methods of inexpensive art reproduction as well as massive demand for poster art (think the Works Progress Administration of the 1930s). The Golden Age of Illustration led to revolutionary changes in book and magazine illustration, as well as significant changes in poster art, advertisement art, and travel art. Since Anderson Design Group seeks to protect and conserve the art styles of the Golden Age of Illustration, several of the poster designs from the Animal Lovers collection feature the art styles of that era.
- Classic Oil Paintings. Anderson Design Group is proud to work with Kai Carpenter, a talented oil painter based out of Seattle, Washington. Dozens of Kai's oil paintings have been featured in ADG poster collections, including the Animal Lovers collection.
