Ski Jump backglass

Backglass

  • purple
  • white
  • golden-yellow
  • red

Fingerprint: Pair of ski jumpers mid-flight on white slope, woman in magenta quilted jacket leaning hard forward with poles angled back, man in vivid red one-piece suit and yellow goggles with arms flung out and skis crossed, SKI JUMP in huge golden-yellow block capitals on curved maroon-and-pink banner, deep purple surround frame

Distinctive

The most memorable element is the pair of ski jumpers mid-flight on a white slope: a woman in a magenta quilted jacket leaning hard forward with her poles angled back, and a man beside her in a vivid red one-piece suit and yellow goggles with his arms flung out and skis crossed beneath him. Second, the title is a single word only, SKI JUMP, in huge golden-yellow block capitals on a curved maroon-and-pink banner that sweeps across the middle of the glass. Third, the surrounding frame is an unusually deep purple, with a small lit alpine chalet and snow-covered fir trees tucked into the left side. Fourth, a small orange-and-brown figure appears high at the top right above the snowy ridge, arm raised. Fifth, the top left carries a block of gold score reels with a black instruction card underneath.

Full description

A portrait-format painted backglass dominated by a snow scene. Across the upper-middle runs a wide, curved maroon and pink banner edged in white, carrying the title in big chunky golden-yellow capital letters with a dark outline, reading SKI JUMP, the first letter partly overlapped at the left. Behind the banner is a white and pale-blue snowy mountainside with a small alpine chalet with a dark roof and lit windows at mid-left, and snow-laden conifer trees below it. Two human figures dominate the centre: a woman on the left in a magenta-pink quilted jacket and dark trousers, leaning forward with poles planted, and a man on the right in a bright red one-piece ski suit, yellow-tinted ski goggles and a dark helmet, arms thrown out for balance, both skis on. At the top left is a row of tall narrow yellow-gold score reels behind a grille, with a black instruction card carrying dense white lettering beneath them and two lines of red instruction text to the right. The whole outer field is deep purple. A wide golden-yellow band runs along the bottom with faint small lettering. The art style is painterly airbrushed illustration.
