National Park Prints

In the 1930s the WPA sent painters into America's national parks, and the posters they came back with are still the best travel advertising this country ever produced.

These national park prints pick up that trade where the government left off — real places, painted flat and bright, made to make you want to drive there.

National Park Wall Art by the Crum Family

The territory is West Texas and the desert beyond it: Big Bend National Park stacked into one long photomontage, a horse under the Guadalupe Mountains, a lone yucca at White Sands, and the signs that mark the road out there — the Stardust in Marfa, the Starlight under a Big Bend night sky.

If you have been hunting vintage national park posters or the retro, WPA-style kind, this is that lineage done by hand — not a reissue of somebody's 1938 silkscreen, but a working family of Texas artists painting the parks they actually drive to. A Big Bend national park poster from people who have stood in the river. A Guadalupe Mountains national park poster from people who know which side the sun sets on.

They make solid national park gifts for anyone who plans vacations around trailheads. More territory nearby: Desert Wall Art, Texas Art, Texas Hill Country Art, and Travel Art.
