Saul Bass was one of the greatest American designers of the 20th century. Saul Bass: A Life in Film & Design is the first book of its kind to document his life and work. The book is written by design historian Pat Kirkham, who knew Bass personally and is designed by his daughter, Jennifer Bass. We can’t wait to read it.
“Saul Bass (1920-1996) created some of the most compelling images of American postwar visual culture. Having extended the remit of graphic design to include film titles, he went on to transform the genre. His best-known works include a series of unforgettable posters and title sequences for films such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and Otto Preminger’s The Man with the Golden Arm and Anatomy of a Murder. He also created some of the most famous logos and corporate identity campaigns of the century, including those for major companies such as AT&T, Quaker Oats, United Airlines and Minolta.”
