Original Description
"The Runners (Coppel CEP 19)" by Cyril E. Power is a vibrant linocut masterpiece from 1938 that captures the dynamic energy of modernist London through its rhythmic geometric forms. This iconic Futurist-inspired work portrays fragmented figures mid-stride, their angular limbs echoing the machine-age aesthetics of the Grosvenor School of Modern Art where Power taught alongside Claude Flight. The diagonal composition and overlapping planes create pulsating movement, revolutionized by Power’s innovative multi-block printing technique using only three colors—bold vermilion, deep ultramarine and rich black. As a founding member of the British Futurist movement, Power’s depiction of urban dynamism bridges Vorticist boldness with Art Deco elegance, making this particular piece one of the most recognizable examples of British modernist printmaking. Its historical significance lies in democratizing avant-garde art through affordable printmaking during the Great Depression.
For contemporary interiors, this 23.5 x 28.5cm linocut commands attention when matted in off-white and framed with slender black profiles, ideal for studies or minimalist offices. The painting’s kinetic energy pairs exceptionally with mid-century modern furniture—try positioning it above an Eames lounge chair or a Marcel Breuer desk where its red/blue palette can echo through cognac leather accents and navy upholstery. In residential spaces, consider grouping it with other Grosvenor School prints in a salon-style arrangement for an impactful art wall. Scale-wise, its modest dimensions work beautifully in transitional spaces like hallways or as part of a curated gallery wall near staircases, where viewers can appreciate its motion illusion from multiple angles. For color continuity, introduce cerulean throw pillows or a terracotta vase to activate the chromatic dialogue between artwork and environment.
