{"title":"Cyril Power","description":"\u003cp\u003eCyril Power (1872–1951) was a British artist best known for his dynamic linocuts produced during the interwar years. Associated with the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London, Power developed a distinctive modernist style characterised by strong geometry, rhythmic movement, and bold contrasts of colour. His work frequently depicts scenes of modern life—sport, transport, labour, and leisure—rendered with a sense of speed and mechanical energy that reflects the optimism and tensions of the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cyril-power-folk-dance-linocut-print-exhibition-poster","title":"Cyril Power 'Folk Dance' Linocut Print Exhibition Poster","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pint in our exhibition poster, Cyril Power's 1932 linocut 'Folk Dance', captures the dynamic energy and rhythm of dancers using bold geometric shapes and a vibrant red and blue palette.

This poster imagines a spring 1962 survey exhibition of Power's commercial and applied work, hosted by a fictional trade body, the London Institute for the Publicity Trades, at a gallery space in Southwark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower trained as an architect before turning to printmaking in his fifties, co-founding the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London in 1925 with Iain McNab and Claude Flight. Under Flight's teaching, Power adopted the colour linocut as his primary medium, producing a body of work preoccupied with the mechanised rhythms of modern urban life: escalators, tube stations, sporting crowds, and — in this case — the vertical thrust of commercial lift shafts. The image was originally commissioned by Harold Champness, a partner in the elevator firm and Power's brother-in-law, and appeared as a line-block advertisement in the trade journal \u003cem\u003eThe Builder\u003c\/em\u003e in January 1930.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition uses spiralling viridian forms and jagged red diagonals to convey the velocity and mechanical rhythm of ascent and descent. In the edition state, Power simplified the design by removing a fourth block that had delineated the cables and staircase, leaving the two lift cars to accelerate through an open shaft — a pared-back image whose plunging, vertiginous space owes something to Vorticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur poster recontextualises this commercial commission as exhibition material, framing Power's applied design work within the post-war culture of trade guilds, industry exhibitions, and public education programmes.
