If Paul Rand was the most influential American graphic designer of
the twentieth century, then Paul Rand: A Designer's Art is the most
important on his work. A comprehensive collection of his most
important and best-known designs, A Designer's Art gives unique
insight into Rand's design process and theory. This new edition of
Rand's classic monograph, long unavailable, meticulously re-creates
the graphic quality of the original. It includes more than two
hundred illustrations and twenty-seven essays, and a new afterword
by Steven Heller. This book is required reading for anybody
interested in modern design.
"To have the preeminent graphic designer in America-the leading
proponent of the Modern-intelligently and forcefully speak out
makes this a document for today and the ages. Rand's book is a
classic." -Stephen Heller (1993) Paul Rand (1914-1996) was a
pioneer in the field of advertising design and typography, and his
work still exerts a profound influence on the design profession.
First published to critical acclaim in 1993, and long unavailable,
Design, Form, and Chaos is now back in print. Exploring graphic
design challenges such as the values behind aesthetics, the role of
intuition, selecting a typeface, and the place of market research,
the book elegantly demonstrates how utility and beauty can be
effectively combined. Illustrated with examples of Rand's own
remarkable graphic design, as well as with the work of artists he
admired, the book features seven portfolios that he used to present
logos to clients such as Next, IDEO, and IBM. Clearly one of the
most important books in the history of 20th-century American
design, Design, Form, and Chaos is a must have for any student or
professional.

++++ Zwei Frauen: Schauspiel In Funf Aufzugen Paul Rand Rand, 1885
Kelley Paul, wife of Senator Rand Paul, celebrates lifelong
friendships in a beautifully illustrated book about the female
bond. When Kelley Paul arrived on the Rhodes College campus in
1981, she immediately bonded with six women. Three decades of
intimate friendship later, Kelley celebrates these relationships
and the women who inspired them all. The extraordinary lives of
Kelley's and her friends' role models--from the Southern matriarch
to the poor Irish immigrant--are chronicled in this lovely book
which offers oral history along with classic poetry, art, and
photography. Throughout, Kelley explores the universal themes of
hardship, determination, commitment, family, independence,
optimism, friendship and love--and illuminates the power of the
female bond that enriches all our lives.
