The Left-Handed Designer

Seymour Chwast’s distinctive graphic style and inventive art direction has had wide international influence on contemporary visual communications. Here, for the first time, is a masterful and instructive retrospective of his work. His designs have been used for everything from product advertising to Forbes magazine campaigns to Mobil Oil’s sponsorship of Masterpiece Theatre to illustrations for the New York Times Op-Ed Page. He has created corporate logos, record covers, typefaces, greeting cards, children’s books, animated films, posters, packages—even a whole product line of candy boxes. This one has got ’em all.
