Abram Games was heavily influenced by his father. Abrams father was a photographer, he taught Abram how to use an airbrush at a young age. This is how Abram became an artist.
Standing by the belief of - "Write what you will but keep it simple"
Abram incorporated text and image in to his posters keeping everything very minimal and straight to the point. Often thought of as a head of his time with his work. Abram had an eventful life, with many different career paths. From being in the army and designing war related posters to working for London Transport.
A genius with his work, using minimal colours and witty yet effective imagery. Sometimes his posters weren't always well related to and some did go to pulp. My opinion of his work is that Abram was very clever, his work was well before his time and that is why sometimes people didn't understand it. What i find effective about his pieces is the use of colour to express the mood of the image.
