Image description

Speed is a linocut depicting a busy London street scene with buildings, buses, and people in a stylised decorative pattern emphasising shape and contour. The shape of the bus on the extreme right seems to merge with the tall building immediately behind it through the integration of curvilinear lines. These give the impression that the vehicle is moving quickly out of the right hand section of the image. With the two other buses in the middle distance, this creates a visual tension between the flatness of the image and the strong diagonal line created by the buses. The title of the work, except for the final 'd', appears on the bus on the extreme right, emphasising the impression of velocity.
