Dunsyre: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1972
14.8 x 10.5cm, 2pp artist's postcard with six line drawings of parts of modern destroyers and an elevation of the whole battleship. The style by Stuart Barrie is a thin line above a flat purple which reflects much of Wassily Kandinsky's sprawling stylish paintings. Purple being a colour often used by the pioneer of abstract art. The various towers and gun placements drawn here take on figurative overtones - seeming to be alive and threatening.

It is also worth pointing out that the colour of the drawing here is grey - which is a translation of the painter's surname. VG+
