Preston Dickinson Prints – Houses, Streets & Industrial Shapes
Preston Dickinson prints find strong geometry within houses, streets and industrial structures. Roofs and chimneys remain recognisable in one view, while another compresses them into overlapping coloured planes. Browse these architectural subjects alongside architecture prints, Cubist art and geometric abstracts, following the changes between observed and constructed space.
A route between buildings and chimneys
Street in Quebec leads along a pale street past red and white façades, with narrow stacks rising in the distance. Trees and dark roof planes interrupt the surrounding walls. The view retains a clear route through the town while simplifying individual surfaces into broad areas of warm and cool colour.
A pale façade divided by deep roof shadows
My House sets the building between dark branches and patches of green ground. Windows and steps provide repeated small shapes beneath the larger sloping roof. Strong contrasts make the house’s geometry especially clear, with the near vegetation supplying a less regular frame around its edges.
Tall structures compressed into coloured planes
Industrial Landscape combines blue, yellow, red and pale surfaces within a tightly layered upright view. Curves and bars suggest industrial forms without isolating each object against open space. The overlapping divisions make the machinery and architecture part of one connected pattern of structural lines.
