      • MAURICE BECK (1886-1960) & PETER MORGAN (DATES UNKNOWN). NOW UNTIL NEXT MAY / WINTER SHELL. 1936. 29x44 inches, 74x112 cm.
        May. 25, 2017

        MAURICE BECK (1886-1960) & PETER MORGAN (DATES UNKNOWN). NOW UNTIL NEXT MAY / WINTER SHELL. 1936. 29x44 inches, 74x112 cm.

        Est: $1,500 - $2,000

        MAURICE BECK (1886-1960) & PETER MORGAN (DATES UNKNOWN) NOW UNTIL NEXT MAY / WINTER SHELL. 1936. 29 1/4x44 1/4 inches, 74 1/4x112 1/2 cm. Condition B+ / A-: minor overpainting at edges and over tape marks in top corners; minor creases, abrasions and restoration at edges. Framed. Maurice Beck, who studied experimental photography in Germany, adapted the art to British advertising. His photomontages, often with a Surrealist influence, are always surprising. His most famous designs were for Orient Line Cruises (see Swann Sale 1897, Lot 69). Here, evoking the coldness of winter, he composes an unexpected still life of hot water bottles and bed warmers in which the avant-garde meets the everyday, set against a two-color background, split down the middle. Combining the cutting-edge and the commonplace, the typography is strict and efficient and the message is clearly delivered. He has even added a layer of snow to the top of the word "Shell" to reinforce the winter theme.

An extraordinary montage of photographed letters and numbers created by designer and photographer Maurice Beck. In the 1920s he was the head photographer for British Vogue, and he is credited with designing 18 posters for the London Underground, all photomontages.

The information highlights the success of the company, still profitable in spite of so many taxes, and the fact that U.E.R.L. contributes significantly to the Treasury and therefore to the London's economy" (http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk).
