Paul Rand
The Art of Design
Few artists can revolutionize an approach to an art form, but Paul Rand did just that when he began designing graphics in the 1930s. From his early advertisements to iconic logos, Rand produced a graphic design style that would inspire and influence the postwar design ideology. On September 13th, Wright presents over 300 works from the collection of Paul Rand ranging from never before seen paintings and graphics to his personal collection of fine art and design that served as inspiration throughout his pioneering career.


To Design is to Transform
Few artists can revolutionize an approach to an art form, but Paul Rand did just that when he began designing graphics in the 1930s. From his early advertisements to iconic trademarks, Rand produced a graphic design style that would inspire and influence the postwar design ideology. Rand created countless icons throughout this five decade career, many of which are still in use today.
Paul Rand entered the design world with a goal to change the way designers approached the medium and to revolutionize the manner in which viewers saw the products. His early advertising works for Metro Associated Services, Esquire and Applied Arts magazine saw him begin to redefine the historic precedence.


I just was always interested in art. It's like asking me how do I have breakfast; you know, you just have it.
Paul Rand




Without play, there would be no Picasso. Without play, there is no experimentation. Experimentation is the quest for answers.
