The tube train 1934

"The Tube Train" is a 1934 woodcut by British artist Cyril Power. The artwork captures a bustling scene on a London Underground train, with commuters engrossed in their newspapers. Power's distinct style, influenced by Cubism, is evident in the fragmented figures and bold use of color. The composition, viewed from a low angle, creates a dynamic and almost claustrophobic atmosphere, emphasizing the packed conditions of the train. The artwork is a testament to Power's ability to capture the energy and rhythm of modern urban life.
