Week6 Midcentury Modern USA

Graphic Design comes of age in the New World, aided by an exodus of talent from Europe. Books, magazines and ads get stripped down and glammed up.

Irving Penn only really took up photography after he had moved to Vogue as assistant to Alexander Liberman.

Sitting here repeatedly watching (and being very much inspired by) your video - all while creating the working on the components and inner structures of what will be a new company that generates illustration-based visual languages for brands and businesses... and I just wanted to stop into the comments to say thank you for making and posting this. I'm GenX - professional illustrator for 30 years - mid 80s was a graphic designer, then art director, then began my own illustration studio in 98 (editorial / advertising art). The analog years are gone but not forgotten - so many brilliant minds and brave pioneers gave their all to move us forward intellectually and artistically. I wonder what they would see as opportunities today? I think that is what has been inspiring me the most watching... just appreciating the vision and the talent. Again, thank you. All the best.
