John Fredrick Peto, For the Track 1895, oil on canvas
Found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.
This painting shows equipment for horseback riders in a barn, as well as bits of tickets and a flyer/poster in the center. This flyer, stating "Oakley Race Track Six Great Races", uses a woodblock typeface on the word "Oakley", which we looked at earlier in the semester. It also shows early characteristics of synthetic cubism, that began a few years following this painting. Picasso's synthetic cubism, as seen in his painting Still Life with Chairs Caning, uses different mediums and textures to create collages. Although Peto's painting is not physically collaged, it resembles one because of the overlapping objects.
Pret a Manger- Organic Coffee & Natural Foods Logo and Packaging.
Found in Washington DC
As seen in many restaurants today, Pret a Manger uses an Art Deco, Sans serif typeface. The popcorn bag uses this type as well and sticks to a limited color scheme of white, red and yellow. The bag itself is designed with vertical stripes, which is seen throughout Art Deco period of the 1920s and 30s in design and packaging.
