Edward Bawden was a master printer and illustrator, perhaps most famous for his lino prints. One of his favourite subjects were the interiors of London markets (above), particularly the iron work structures.
Fernand Leger produced many paintings focusing on the scaffolding used to construct skyscrapers and the men that scrambled over it with such ease (above). Debbie Smyth draws with thread. She uses pins to attach the thread and leaves the loose ends to give the pieces more energy.
Paul Catherall is a print maker and illustrator who often uses buildings as his main subject matter (below). The simplified shapes and tonal values emphasise the strong structures.
