"The prolific English artist Dudley Hardy is best known for his work for
publications and the theatre, both as illustrator and posterist. His work for
commercial firms is rarer. Yet his contributions to English poster art is considerable.
He really introduced the colour poster to England" (Rennert,
PAI-XVIII,129) The majestic, strangely clad 'Chieftain' with the mystical
swirling stripes from his hat, is set against a scarlet backdrop.
The lucid
floating white type 'The Chieftain' beckons us into the poster. A typically effective
Hardy design. | |
