Biografi:

Percival Albert Trompf was an Australian commercial artist, born in Beaufort, Australia in 1902. He was educated at Sebastopol Primary School and studied at the Ballarat School of Mines. Trompf is best known for his travel posters, books, advertising hoardings and pamphlets promoting the nation's tourist industry and Australian and international corporations and companies. His color lithography is recognized as distinctive, Art Deco in style, and innovative in its use of flat color. Some of his designs depict historical events, including the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Captain Cook's landing at Botany Bay. Trompf's imagery has since become valued for its nostalgic evocation of the early mid-century and his posters have become collectible 'national treasures' that are frequently exhibited.
