R. Roger Remington
Lester Beall
Trailblazer of American Graphic Design
A definitive survey of the work of a major American designer.
Lester Beall, who died in 1969, was the first graphic designer to receive a
one-man exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (in 1937) and was awarded the 1993
Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Institute of Graphic Artists, a
sign of his importance in American graphic design. In full color, this book
documents the work of his pioneering 44-year career—advertising,
corporate-identity programs, product styling, packaging, exhibits, murals,
annual reports, posters, books, and magazines for a wide range of clients,
including the U.S. government, the International Paper Company, Martin
Marietta Corporation, and many others.
Roger Remington is professor of graphic design at Rochester Institute
of Technology.
