Save the Whales (1973) by Vint Lawrence Canvas PrintBefore anyone mentions vintage protest poster design, notice what the deep navy does to oak. The wall stops feeling flat and starts holding the room together. Put it up and a quiet study, hallway or reading corner suddenly has a point of view. The whale carries the wall on its own confident, graphic, easy to live with even though the message is loud. Hang it at eye level above a writing desk, a sideboard, or in a hallway where it greets you on the way

Printed on heavy fine-art paper with rich blacks and saturated pink

soft wool rugs

then the deep navy start doing damage

Skip it next to other heavily patterned art or loud floral wallpaper

or at eye level on a bedroom wall where it can be looked at properly

and plenty of it — a sky-blue horse staring straight out from a coral background

the avenue of yellow cabs and that hand-painted full moon do the heavy lifting — you stop and look

study or creative office

no busy wallpaper

and the sky has that holiday-light look

This one slinks through coral peonies on a deep red ground

on the wall facing the loo
