Description
Shell Art & Advertising: A Comprehensive Look at Pictorial Advertising from Shell's Archive. This beautifully designed and illustrated book explores Shell's remarkable archive of pictorial advertising art, from its origins to the 1960s. Featuring a wealth of fascinating images, it provides valuable insights into the development of commercial art in the UK during this period. By examining the historical, political, and social contexts of Shell art and advertising, the authors assess the work's broader cultural significance and explore questions surrounding the aesthetics and purpose of "Commercial Art". Drawing primarily on Shell's extensive poster collection, as well as other contemporary sources, this original publication will appeal to those interested in Modern British Art and cultural history.
