Results - Abstraction

Abstract imagery has been a common feature of Underground poster design. The simplification and distortion of form can be extremely striking, although an element of representation is usually necessary to communicate a clear message. Geometric abstraction, inspired by avant-garde art movements, was particularly popular in designs from the 1920s and 1930s.
