Purvis' posters run the gamut from traditional landscapes to people engaged in a variety of activities, primarily involving beach scenes. "The three-dimensionality of his work is quite astonishing when one considers that it is often comprised entirely of only flat shapes" (Purvis p. 41). Furness vol. 4, p. 5.
