Jessica Dismorr: Related Forms recycled t-shirt

It’s all relative – this grey t-shirt features a design inspired by Jessica Dismorr’s abstract artwork, Related Forms, 1937, and is made from recycled organic cotton t-shirts.

All of our custom print t-shirts are made to be returned to our manufacturer when they’re worn out, so they can be turned back into usable material and made into new t-shirts. This t-shirt is the end result of that – created from 50% post-consumer remanufactured organic cotton and 50% organic cotton.

Abstract works like Dismorr’s Related Forms, 1937 were created in the 1930s by avant-garde artists in promotion of unity and common cause, in reaction to the increasingly dangerous political environment in Europe.

About the artist

Jessica Stewart Dismorr (1885 – 1939) was a British avant-garde painter and illustrator. She studied at the Slade School of Art before training under Max Bohm at Etaples in 1904, and at the Académie de La Palette in Paris. Dismorr was part of nearly every avant-garde group in London from 1912 – 1937. A pioneering artist, she was one of only two women members of the Vorticist movement and also exhibited with the Allied Artists Association, the Seven and Five Society and the London Group. She also contributed to Group X and displayed abstract works at the 1937 Artists' International Association exhibition.
