“The words graphic designer, architect, or industrial designer stick in my throat, giving me a sense of limitation, of specialisation within the specialty, of a relationship to society and form itself that is unsatisfactory and incomplete. This inadequate set of terms to describe an active life reveals only partially the still undefined nature of the designer.”

Alvin Lustig, born in New York in 1915, was an outstanding graphic designer whose work had a profound impact on the American design scene in the mid-20th century.
