Description
The full spectrum of Seymour Chwast's creative universe comes together here for the first time, in a retrospective bristling with his wit, bite, and gleefully disruptive ideas. Including a fold-out dustjacket with a collectible poster printed on the reverse. Bold, mischievous, and instantly recognizable, Seymour Chwast's work has shaped the look and language of American graphic design for more than seven decades. This expansive and visually rich volume--created in close collaboration with Chwast--presents the most comprehensive account of his life, ideas, and prolific creative output to date.
Organized into generous, image-forward sections, the book moves from Chwast's early years in the Bronx and his formative training at Cooper Union to the co-founding of Push Pin Studios, the collaborative powerhouse he launched with Milton Glaser, Edward Sorel, and Reynold Ruffins. Across posters, book jackets, type experiments, woodcuts, animations, anti-war graphics, children's books, and graphic novels, his distinctive visual vocabulary appears in all its unruly variety.
Sharp silhouettes, antic characters, deadpan humor, and a penchant for visual troublemaking reveal a designer whose imagination never settled into one mode or medium. Throughout, Chwast offers personal reflections that shed light on the influences, working habits, and provocations behind his creative decisions.
Short contextual essays trace the evolution of his style, the ethos of Push Pin, and his ongoing engagement with social and political commentary. With remarkable color fidelity and a wealth of previously unpublished images and ephemera, this glorious volume celebrates an artist whose restless inventiveness continues to animate contemporary design.
