Paul Rand: A Designer’s Eye
A photo essay of a cache of items from the archive of iconic graphic designer Paul Rand. Accumulated over a lifetime of travel, they include a wide variety of packages, shopping bags, dolls, toys, etc. A unique look into the mind of the legendary designer, whose influence and popularity have continued long after his death in 1996. The foreword, written by JP Williams, a former student of Rand, tells of his relationship with the designer and describes the power objects can hold. The book also serves as a valuable design reference for aficionados and collectors of interesting and lost packaging.
Thames & Hudson was founded in 1949 by Walter and Eva Neurath. Their passion and mission was to create a ‘museum without walls’ and to make accessible to a large reading public the world of art and the research of top scholars. To reflect its international outlook the name for the company linked the rivers flowing through London and New York, represented in its logo by two dolphins symbolizing friendship and intelligence, one facing east, one west, suggesting a transatlantic connection.
Today, still an independent, family-owned company, Thames & Hudson is one of the world’s leading publishers of illustrated books with over 2,000 titles in print. We publish high-quality books across all areas of visual creativity: the arts (fine, applied, decorative, performing), architecture, design, photography, fashion, film and music, and also archaeology, history and popular culture. Our children’s books list is also expanding. Headquartered in London, we have a sister company in New York (Thames & Hudson Inc.). Since 1970, Thames & Hudson Australia has operated from Melbourne as both an originating publisher and sales and distribution provider. We also have subsidiary sales and distribution companies in Hong Kong (Thames & Hudson Asia) and Paris (Interart).
