Understanding Our Print Sizes
Understanding Our Print Sizes
Historical prints vary in proportion based on their original format. Whenever possible, we match them to the closest standard size, using common print ratios like 2:3 (e.g., 8x12) or 3:4 (e.g., 9x12). However, resizing some prints can distort the artwork's integrity, so we can only offer them in their original proportions. Additionally, we use different printers for our product lines, and not all sizes are available with every printer.
The print captures the vibrant energy of Madrid, a city where tradition and modernity intertwine. The composition is centered around a flamenco dancer, her dynamic pose and flowing pink dress embodying the passion and movement of Spanish culture. Behind her, the architectural landmarks of Madrid, including the Puerta del Sol clock tower and an ornate wrought-iron street lamp, anchor the scene in the city's historic identity. The bold use of color—rich reds, warm yellows, and deep blacks—creates an atmosphere of warmth and excitement
Why We Picked It
The artwork’s striking composition seamlessly blends motion and structure. The dancer’s swirling dress, with its organic, fluid forms, contrasts beautifully with the rigid geometry of Madrid’s architecture. The layering of elements, from the dancer in the foreground to the urban backdrop, gives the piece depth and a sense of theatricality. The interplay of textures—delicate lace, rippling fabric, and solid stone—adds to the tactile quality of the piece. The bold typography of "Madrid" integrates seamlessly into the design, reinforcing the city’s cultural essence.
Notable Context
This artwork is part of a broader tradition of mid-20th-century travel graphics in pamphlets, menus etc that romanticized European capitals through bold, graphic styles. Artists of this era often used vibrant colors and stylized forms to create aspirational visions of cities, appealing to both locals and tourists alike. The emphasis on flamenco—a dance deeply rooted in Andalusian culture—reflects Spain’s enduring commitment to its artistic traditions, even as its cities grew into modern metropolises.
During the mid-century period, Madrid was experiencing a cultural renaissance, with a resurgence of interest in Spanish heritage and arts. The city was a hub of creativity, where traditional music and dance coexisted with contemporary artistic movements. This piece embodies that dynamic, offering a stylized yet deeply evocative portrayal of Madrid’s identity.
