The Traditional Folder

The term "traditional" is used here to signify something that recalls a "bond". When we look at the representations collected in this book, thanks to the contributions of some of the world’s finest artists of the traditional style, there is a bond with the images that we observe. The remarkable artists featured have all in their own singular style represented the traditional, drawing an endless alphabet of designs and combinations of images with a strong visual impact. The sheets depict America through its many icons and reveal a colourful world that takes on the shape of hearts, daggers, pin ups, and religious symbols.
