The art of Gerald Moira
A 1922 New York monograph on the British painter and decorator Gerald Moira, with plates reproduced in halftone, several printed sideways on the page. The pictures are mural and decorative panels: a horseman with a lance, a dark-clad figure bent forward, a woman in a doorway defending a gate, and a semicircular lunette with figures among foliage. A designer might take their strong black-and-white contrast, frieze-like arched compositions, and dense crowded groupings for decorative panel layouts.
