Abstract Form, vintage poster design by M R Webb

c.1940

About the Item

M R Webb Abstract Form 21 x 26 cm Signed to lower right Provenance: Family of A. E. Halliwell Little is known about A Searle beyond the fact that he studied under A E Halliwell, though the fact that Halliwell collected this painting suggests that he thought highly of his student. This abstract composition provides few clues as to what exactly it is depicting... Is it an Underground roundel? Perhaps some kind of animal, a cockerel maybe? Webb leaves it to his viewer to decide. In any case, the colours and swirling forms offer a sense of motion and excitement in this dynamic piece.
