Soon divided and so on is a 2007 by Tony Swain, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This image looks like a collage of old newspaper clippings glued together. Headlines and ads cover the whole thing—some words are clear, others are smudged or torn. The colors are faded yellows, browns, and grays, with a few bright spots like a wedding ad in the corner. A landscape photo peeks through in the middle, showing hills and water. The artist cut and rearranged text and images to create this piece. It feels like a puzzle of everyday life, mixing serious news with ads. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum next to see more of this work.
A 2007 screenprint by Tony Swain, titled *Soon divided and so on*, overlays a waterside landscape onto a sheet of *The Guardian* using green and cream inks, and is signed by the artist.
