PAT COKAYNE KEELY ( ? -1970) STOP. 1941. 30x20 inches. Loxley Bros., [London.] Condition B: creases in image; discoloration in margins; mounted to foam board. Prior to the Second World War, Keely designed several posters for the Southern Railway. But it was during the war that he designed the majority of his posters. He worked for the Post Office, the National Savings Committee and the Ministry of Labor. Here, as in all of his work, his design is guided by the compelling tenets of modernism. A worker, with something in his eye, has gone to a colleague to help remove the visible mote. The isoloated eye, the dirty hands, and the spear-like point on the kerchief produce a powerful warning, which almost makes the large, eye-catching, single line of slanting text redundant.
