Description

Georges Nelson (1908-1986), an American functionalist designer with polished creations, but with complex textual and visual manifestations is a special case within American Modernism, as is hinted at by the titles of his designs: A Problem of Design:  How to Kill People, (1960), Requiem (1960) or Elegy in the Junk Yard (1961). 

Why then isn’t Nelson identified as a writer or critic, despite his considerable written output? *

* See the main collections of texts: Problem of Design (Whitney Publication, 1957) On Design (Whitney Publication, 1979). 

24 pages, 21 × 29,7 cm, CMYK + 1 PMS on cover
