Description
An Empire Marketing Board poster presenting cattle raising in Australia through a broad, sunlit river landscape. Gregory Brown places red-brown cattle among pale gums, water and distant hills, using simplified forms and clean colour blocks to turn agricultural production into a decorative pastoral scene.
Issued in Britain for HMSO, the poster belongs to the Board’s interwar campaign promoting trade and resources across the Empire. Brown’s graphic treatment gives the subject an elegant Arts-and-Crafts-to-modernist feel, with the horizontal format and black side panels enhancing its frieze-like impact.
