Label TextPhiladelphia artist Gordon Deacon's bold linocuts created for the Public Works of Art Project evoke the vibrant cut paper compositions found in the artist's design work, including a poster series for the Dairy Council. Like many of his peers, Deacon's career involved both commercial illustration work and exhibitions of fine art prints.
