Exhibition Label: "Machine in a Void: World War I & the Graphic Arts," Mar-2010, Steve Goddard Maes was, like Edmond van Dooren (also exhibited here), involved with Constructivist- and De Stijl-inspired impulses in Belgium, including Het Overzicht (The Overview), and its more populist counterpart in Brussels, 7 Arts. In 1922 Maes was one of five co-founders of the journal 7 Arts; the others included a poet, an architect and a composer. The interest of 7 Arts in a practical machine aesthetic with applications in industry, architecture, and graphic design is well demonstrated in this elegant, geometrical composition by Maes.
