the artist Adolph Treidler (1886-1981)


the artist Adolph Treidler (1886-1981) studied at the California School of Design in San Francisco from 1902 to 1904. By 1909, Treidler had relocated to New York City, where he studied painting and life drawing under the Ashcan School painter Robert Henri at his Henri School of Art. Treidler enjoyed a long career as an illustrator, both of advertisements and covers for several magazines, including McClure's, Harper's, and the Saturday Evening Post. During World War I, Treidler produced numerous posters for the United War Work Campaign, many of which advocated for women workers in munitions plants. He again designed posters during World War II, serving as the Chairman of the Pictorial Publicity Committee for the Society of Illustrators. Treidler is also known for his advertisements for the car manufacturer Pierce-Arrow, as well as his images that promoted tourism in Bermuda.

  1. Some more great artist works, good stuff Jesse. Treidler's car painting and sketches are beautiful. They are soft impressionism, something like a dream state. The top picture for Pierce Arrow is just a beautiful scene from everyday life in the Big Apple. From the lades in their Sunday best, the little Italian flower man, the door man and chuffer, a horse drawn taxi. A little peek into life at the turn of the 19th century into the 20th. You have such great taste sir. Thanks for posting.

    1. Thank you! As do you! I'm thrilled to find such wonderful art, and finally credit it to the artist. I've posted the one Pierce Arrow advertisement years ago, but never knew the artist, so finally I was able to show the variety of his skill, from advertising to sketches, and give a short bio. Happy to find you like it too!
