Gerald Mac Spink (flourished 1920 - 1940) For Theatres, Kinemas, Cabarets, Dances, Concerts, Travel by Underground (c. 1930) Gouache 30 x 19 cm Original design for a London Transport poster. Framed. A fantastic gouache design by Spink for a London Underground poster. The artist's striking Art Deco design and heady use of colour advertises the glamour of travelling by Tube to various evening entertainments around London. Spink was a skilled artist 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. In 1933 he was awarded a prize 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.
