Powerful Lines

L'azienda del campo, 1924, via Chaudron

For my second post dedicated to the Italian artist Duilio Cambellotti, I wanted to focus on his draughtsman's skill

and the beauty of his expressive line work, as shown in his illustrations, sketches, woodcuts, prints and ceramics.

In the near future I am planning to share some of his beautiful illustrations for the Arabian Nights 

and other striking colorful artworks.

Fun with Appliances

Peter Gut is a Swiss typographer, illustrator and caricaturist based in Winterthur. 

He has collaborated for years with the weekly magazine Facts, and today works for Weltwoche,

the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and the business magazine Bilanz. Gut also designs book covers and

 has illustrated the children's book Der Bär auf dem Försterball. I recently discovered his work

thanks to my daughter Michelle, who bought me the postcard above. His surreal and whimsical humour

 and artistic style are in a similar vein to the great Michael Sowa, who I haven't posted so far 

only because he's already quite famous, and Roberto Perini. These pictures are part of the book

Tierisch unter Strom, which explores a series of funny and creative interactions 

between different animals and various appliances and machines.

 You can also find them as postcards via Incognito.
