− | The art between the two issues of | + | The art between the two issues of "Blast" helps define the emotions of Lewis from the effects of the war. "Blast"1 has a more flamboyant aesthetic look resembling a vortex, which follows the Vorticism movement. You can see how it reflects the time and care Lewis spent working on it. The standard, two column nightmare of the second issue makes that one a lot easier to follow then the first, keeping the reader focused on the actual content. Even thought the actual art is more abstract, this style is almost depressing to look at, but it makes sense because "Blast" 2 came out about a year into the war. Reading ''BLAST'' 1 is more pleasing compared to ''BLAST'' 2, but the second allows the reader to get a sense of the conflict the war has caused. |
