Ah, talk about the art of design…..I went to a lecture a few days ago presented by Tod Oldham on Alexander Girard. His use of color and pattern is amazing and Mr. Oldham (who is madly in love with A. Girard, I mean MADLY) compiled years and years worth of work into a new monogram with the help of writer Kiera Coffee.
Girard designed everything from dolls to an airline (Braniff - an American airline which operated from 1928 to 1982. Emilio Pucci designed the colorful stewardess uniforms), interiors, murals, and tons more.
You can get the book at Amazon. It’s not cheap but worth your money. And you’ll get to see great images of his work. Not these crappy ones I googled.
