Description: | London Transport published this poster in 1933. It was designed by the prolific British artist Graham Sutherland and promotes leisure travel.
The image of a window offering a picturesque rural view reiterates the simple point made by the title: London Transport Opens a Window on London's Country.
Sutherland's work touched upon surrealism and bordered on abstraction. However, he was also greatly influenced by the pastoral visions expressed a century earlier in the art and writing of William Blake. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1933 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Publisher : London Transport | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
