Statue of Liberty, 1986

Bjorn Aronson “Adventureland” (1955)

Entering and exiting Disneyland (as well as later parks) guests are funneled through what Walt Disney envisioned as akin to the lobby of a movie theater, where posters attract moviegoers to current and upcoming features. The first posters were designed by graphic artist Bjorn Aronson, who used the silk-screen printing technique to create “large posters bright, colorful, and more importantly, attention grabbing.” 1

Aronson designed travel posters, “large, silk-screened graphics displayed at train depots, bus stations, and airports that could be read quickly and easily in a fast-paced society.” 1

Aronson’s large (54"x 36") posters are highly sought after, fetching large sums.
