Summary

Seymour Chwast, designer, illustrator, painter and co-founder of the illustrious Push Pin Studios, is responsible for a transformation of American visual language from the '50s onward. Drawing from thousands of commissions as well as pages from the Push Pin Graphic and The Nose, this volume spans the universal and topical range of his work: humorous, political, conceptual, ironic, and utterly unique. It is the first book to include numerous examples of his personal work, paintings, and sculpture, making it a valuable addition to libraries of media image, collectors, pop culture aficionados, and socially conscious Chwast fans alike
