Exploring Shell's remarkable archive of advertising art, this book
is the first to present a comprehensive overview of the company's
artistic heritage. Examinations of the historical, political and
social contexts of Shell art and advertising enable the authors to
assess the work's broader cultural significance. By delving into
the ways in which Shell's publicity was conceived, commissioned,
produced and disseminated, the particular contributions made by
artists and designers including Paul Nash, Graham Sutherland, Ben
Nicholson and Edward McKnight Kauffer, are highlighted, while
broader questions such as Shell's position within contemporary
debates regarding the aesthetics and proper purpose of 'Commercial
Art' are explored. Drawing primarily on Shell's extensive poster
collection, as well as other contemporary sources, Shell Art &
Advertising provides valuable insights into the development of
commercial art in the UK. Featuring a wealth of fascinating images,
this original publication will appeal to cultural historians, as
well as fans of Modern British Art.
