Jantzen Skiers — Joseph Binder, 1947

Two skiers sweep through blue-and-white snow in Joseph Binder’s dynamic 1947 poster for Jantzen. A male skier reaches forward above a crouching female figure, while skis and poles cut across the composition at sharp angles. Binder’s simplified shapes and scattered fields of blue give the image an immediate impression of speed without relying on a detailed landscape.

Created as promotional artwork for Jantzen, Inc., the poster combines winter sport with Binder’s economical approach to modern graphic design. Navy, blue-green, orange, red, brown, and black stand against a warm light ground, while textured blue marks evoke snow thrown into the air around the descending figures. The sparse composition allows movement, color, and silhouette to carry almost the entire design.
