Stunning work by Edward McKnight Kauffer. Whether creating a book cover for classic literature, an ad for a familiar product or a poster for a noble cause, his design takes immediate, even hypnotic precedence.
Thanks for that info, I didn't know that! There are so many spectacular London Transport posters. I am actively searching for (to own) a recent LT poster by Anna Barribal, that reads, "I think I'm being watched."
Since the work doesn't appear to be available through either of her dealers so why not contact 'Transport for London' directly -- this is the series it comes from:
