Alvin Lustig is one of my design heroes. He went blind and died at a young age. These are some of his amazing book covers. To see more of these and appreciate them more fully, get your hands on a copy of this incredible book seen above, profiled here by Grain Edit.
Went down at 40. Diabetes. The world got robbed of what else he might have done. Thanks for posting these images.
ReplyDeleteSo jazzy
ReplyDeleteWow....UTKIST.....were you channeling him when you did the similar design, or was he channeling you , or were you both channeling someone else? Just how similar is it? Very interesting!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnon-- after looking at the Utkist cover again I realized that I had indeed stored that cover in my subconscious which must have inspired a couple of the shape drawings I made as well as an Everlasting Moments cover idea...
