Description: | Edward Bawden was at the centre of a group of artists, including Eric Ravilious and Enid Marx, who were rediscovering craft techniques like marbling, lino cuts, block printed textiles and engraving. Bawden had encountered many of these techniques whilst studying under Paul Nash at the Royal College of Art.
These artists produced work for many different commercial applications including book illustrations and covers, advertisements and posters, ceramics, wallpapers and textiles.
The 1930s were a period when the appellation 'artist designed' was important to the marketing of products. It would separate tasteful and 'artistic' goods from an increasingly mass-produced and cheapened commercial market. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | MoDA | Rights holder: | Cecil Higgins Art Gallery | Subjects: | Art and Design | Temporal: | 1927 | Source: | Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
