EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a masthead design for The Bystander, a British weekly magazine published between 1921 and 1957. Created by renowned British artist Laurie Taylor in 1930, this illustration encapsulates the spirit of athleticism and elegance that defined the Art Deco period. At the forefront of the composition is an athletic woman, her toned figure clad in a stylish one-piece swimsuit and a chic bathing cap. Her determined expression and the powerful stride of her long legs convey a sense of energy and vitality. Two elegant greyhounds accompany her, their sleek coats gleaming in the sun and their eyes fixed intently on their mistress. The canine icons of the Art Deco era, greyhounds embodied speed, grace, and glamour. The woman's running pose, with one arm outstretched and the other cradling a water bottle, exudes a sense of focus and dedication to physical fitness. The beach setting, with its golden sand and crystal-clear waters, adds to the overall feeling of leisure and relaxation. This image is a testament to the growing popularity of outdoor activities and exercise during the 1930s, as well as the influence of the Art Deco aesthetic on popular culture. Laurie Taylor's masterful use of line, form, and color captures the essence of this era, making it a timeless piece of art and a fascinating glimpse into the past.
