Art Deco - English Movement
background information:
developed a bold, 2D style using large blocks of vivid flat color and eliminating detail
works for LNER largely avoided depictions of the trains themselves but rather concentrated on portraying the resorts that were the holiday destinations of the travellers and the leisure pursuits that could be enjoyed there (create personal project using this approach)
sex appeal was strong element = women in bathing costumes with bare arms and legs (risque in 1930s Britain)
seaside resorts, each shown at an unusual angle, to form a continuous landscape in the background within the 6 posters produced for LNER
(with my project, make backgrounds link together....like landscape from train window...maybe Australia and New Zealand since they are next to each other...or Egypt and surrounding country)
East Coast Joys depicts various leisure activities with a relaxed simplified style giving almost a Mediterranean feel (emphasizing that the east coast of Britain is the "drier side of Britain")
