Alexey Brodovitch

A Russian who fled the Bolshevik Revolution to settle eventually in Paris and then New York, Alexey Brodovitch was one of the pioneers of graphic design in the twentieth century. This is the book about him. Brodovitch was Art Director of Harper's Bazaar for twenty-four years; he designed and produced several exquisite and highly collectable books with collaborators such as Richard Avedon and André Kertész; he was a talented photographer himself; and, through an informal class called the Design Lab in New York, he trained a younger generation of photographers and designers who went on to become famous artists and art directors in their own right. One of the best items in our personal collection was designed by Brodovitch. Come and see. Or, save yourself a trip and get this book as it’s featured in full in its pages.
