About this product
Product Information
This is the first book to be published on one of the greatest American designers of the 20th century, who was as famous for his work in film as for his corporate identity and graphic work. Saul Bass (1920-1996) created some of the most compelling images of American postwar visual culture. Having extended the remit of graphic design to include film titles, he went on to transform the genre. His best-known works include a series of unforgettable posters and title sequences for films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Otto Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm and Anatomy of a Murder. He also created some of the most famous logos and corporate identity campaigns of the century, including those for major companies such as AT&T, Quaker Oats, United Airlines and Minolta. His wife and collaborator, Elaine, joined the Bass office in the late 1950s. Together they created an impressive series of award-winning short films, including the Oscar-winning Why Man Creates, as well as an equally impressive series of film titles, ranging from Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus in the early 1960s to Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear and Casino in the 1990s. Designed by Saul Bass's daughter Jennifer and written by distinguished design historian Pat Kirkham, who knew Saul Bass, this book contains more than 1,400 illustrations, many from the Bass archive and never published before, providing an in-depth account of one of the leading graphic artists of the 20th century. This definitive study is eagerly anticipated by design and film enthusiasts.Product Identifiers

Best of Bass
Saul Bass was a great designer of film credit title sequences, most notably for Alfred Hitchcock and Otto Preiminger, and also a director and designer of corporate logos. This book is a handsome tribute to his various talents.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great if you're interested in the man,not the work
Very interesting book about a prolific artist and designer. The book spans the entire course of Saul Bass's career, I was specifically interested in the work during the middle of his career. Book came sooner than expected and in perfect condition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
