There has been something of a Kauffer revival going on over the past decade, and visiting the Estorick exhibit tells us why. Kauffer was a brilliant artist, and probably suffers from the fact that his ouvre–advertising posters and billboards–is, well, commercial art. Well, so it was. But it’s still, you know, art. His friends, who included TS Eliot and most of the visual artists of the period, certainly thought so. Kauffer believed in the power of good, strong art, which is what he produced. And the show at the Estorick does an excellent job of conveying this.
