Charles Paine’s iconic style is perfectly depicted in his work entitled ‘Boat Race’ produced in 1923 for the Underground Railway Electric Company Ltd. Simple shapes and use of only four colours meant that this poster was very economical to reproduce at this time.
‘Boat Race’ is built on simplicity and relies on subtlety to convey the excitement of the annual Cambridge versus Oxford University boat race, here the defined lines of the wake behind the boat show the speed and ferocity of the race.
