WORDSWORTH/WADSWORTH. Ian Hamilton Finlay 1978
A card with two abstract drawings by Jim Downie – one representing the romantic interest of Wordsworth (trees, hills) and the other the Dazzle camouflage invented by Edward Wadsworth to help defend ships at sea during World War I. The work is activated by the subtle difference in spelling and the contrasting organic vs hard edge images. Also the subject of a 1977 sculpture in the Leeds Art Gallery collection. Murray 4.130.
