The artwork represents a sailor man through strong and thick strokes, with a strong primitivism visible in the synthetic lines, resembling the Expressionistic style. Lorenzo Viani (Viareggio, 1st November 1882 - Lido di Ostia, 2nd November 1936) was an Italian painter, engraver, writer and poet. Viani transfers the life and human life of the weakest into the canvas, with strong chromatic impressions and with a decisive and fast brushstroke, an intense, expressive, and at times extremely melancholy painting. What makes Viani a great teacher, too often forgotten, is the mastery in making drama and lyricism and poetic grace coexist in his works, in feeling the humble emotion in front of the dispossessed. Viani's narrative work is a typical example of dialectal expressionism. Its origins are in a disturbing vision of things, disturbed from the depths, which translates into an exasperated deformation of landscapes like human faces. The writer makes use of extraordinary verbal richness, drawn from the dialectal background of Viareggio, from the seafaring or soldierly or cunning jargon, where it is possible to obtain expressionistic exasperations.

Initial Letter 'H' for The Canterbury Tales (1929) - The Doctor's Tale
Woodblock Print
Published Hague & Gill 1934 in an unnumbered edition of 300
23x21cm
Following Chichester Technical and Art School, Gill moved to London in 1900 to train with the ecclesiastical architects W D Caroe. Finding architecture somewhat pedestrian he took stonemasonry lessons at Westminster Technical Institute and calligraphy lessons at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, coming under the influence of Edward Johnson, the designer of the London Underground's own typeface. In 1903 he ceased his attempts to become an architect, instead becoming a monumental mason, letter-cutter and calligrapher.
Based in Ditchling, he began direct carving of stone figures, the semi-abstract figures taking their influence from mediaeval statuary, mixed with influences from Classical statuary from the Greeks and Romans, with a little post-Impressionism added in.
With major commissions from Westminster Cathedral for its Stations of the Cross (1914), a series of War Memorials including the Grade II* memorial in Trumpington, and three of the sculptures for Charles Holden's 1928 headquarters of London Underground at 55 Broadway, St James's, and a series of sculptures for the new 1932 Broadcasting House. The list continues.
Never one to rest on his laurels, he was at the same time engaged in typographical adventures. He had collaborated with Edward Johnson on the latter's initial thoughts on his London Transport typeface, but in 1925 designed Perpetua on his own, and Gill Sans between 1927-30. For the Golden Cockerel Press he created, in 1929, a bolder typeface to complement wood engravings.
And of course Gill was publishing decorated...
