Summary:
Hailed upon its publication as “discriminating, erudite, and eclectic,” From Lascaux to Brooklyn is now available to readers once again. First published in 1996, the year of Paul Rand’s death, the volume embarks on a wonderful journey from the time before graphic design to the author’s own studio work and beyond. An excellent companion to Rand’s Design, Form, and Chaos, this book awakens readers to the lessons of the cave paintings of Lascaux and demonstrates how this learning is later conveyed in artworks ranging from the Tower of Pisa to a Cézanne painting, an African sculpture, or a park in Brooklyn. Topics discussed include the relationship between art and business, the presentation of design concepts to prospective clients, the debate over typographic style, and the aesthetics of combinatorial geometry. This book engages and enlightens anyone interested in the practice or theory of graphic design.

Summary:
Considéré aujourd’hui comme l’un des plus célèbres graphistes américains, Paul Rand a marqué l’histoire du design graphique par sa production, notamment celle de logos pour de grandes entreprises telles que IBM, ABC ou UPS qui restent encore majoritairement inchangés aujourd’hui. Véritable artiste moderne, Paul Rand est parvenu à allier certaines influences avant-gardistes européennes (notamment celles du Bauhaus, du mouvement De Stijl, ou du constructivisme russe) au fonctionnalisme américain, donnant ainsi naissance à une nouvelle conception du design. Son travail sur les identités visuelles a ainsi transformé en profondeur le champ de la publicité en faisant du design un outil commercial à part entière. Ce livre sera accompagné de près de 150 images en noir et blanc et 70 en couleur qui donnent à voir l’ensemble du travail de Paul Rand, et d’une postface de Steven Heller, journaliste et directeur artistique américain.
