A beautiful postwar Greek tourism poster that captures Mykonos at its most timeless. A whitewashed windmill rises above the Aegean, a donkey resting in its shadow, a domed chapel and the white cubic architecture of the village below, cactus and golden hillside in the foreground. The loose, painterly brushwork and serene blue palette give it an almost impressionistic quality that sets it apart from the bolder graphic style of contemporary European travel posters.
Published by the Greek Tourist Department in 1949, it's a genuine period piece; Greece just emerging onto the postwar travel scene, long before Mykonos became a household name. A lovely work on its own merits, and increasingly collectible as Mediterranean travel poster material gains wider recognition.
