Description: | This poster, promoting bus routes to Reigate, was published by the Underground group in 1915. It was designed by Edward McKnight Kauffer, who produced over 130 poster artworks between 1915 and 1939.
This early example reveals the bold geometric style that was to dominate his later designs. The strident colour is contained in simple stylised shapes. The flat tonal areas draw attention to the surface of the picture whilst the use of contrasting colours simultaneously creates a dramatic sense of depth. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Environment Leisure Art and Design | Temporal: | 1915 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
