The Art of the Solar Eclipse 2017

For the first time since 1918, a total solar eclipse crossed the entire United States. It stated with a total solar eclipse in Oregon just after 1:15 p.m. Eastern time on Monday August 21st 2017, darkening skies as the moon obscured the sun and cast a long shadow across Earth. It concluded its path just before 3 p.m. in South Carolina, where clouds obscured the moment of totality.

Some saw all, some saw it obscured. However, for the following designers & artists, the Solar Eclipse of 2017 was a source of visual inspiration and exciting poster design that documented the event.

Check out our curated list of the most interesting and creative posters expressing the American solar eclipse.
