Gerald Mac Spink (flourished 1920 - 1940) Industrial Scene with Steam Locomotive Block print 50 x 34 cm Signed 'G Mac Spink' top left in plate. A beautifully-rendered, almost futurist industrial scene depicting a steam-powered locomotive. The metals of industry dwarf the men working below them, white with heat in chiaroscuro contrast to the dark shadows in the fore- and background of the print. Spink was a skilled artist, illustrator, and designer who produced a series of posters in the inter-war period for companies including the London Underground, Southern Railways, LNER, Hawker Engineering, and British Steel. He won a prize in 1933 from the Imperial Institute for his poster artwork. He also worked as an aeronautical engineer in Kingston-on-Thames for Hawker Engineering; his greatest achievement was the creation of the 'Squanderbug', a 500cc racing car which he built in 1947, and which races even to this day. Provenance: the artist's estate.
