It’s now been 65 years since graphic design icon Seymour Chwast (A'51) graduated from the Cooper Union—and 30 years since the Seymour Chwast Retrospective at the school. On May 24, the Herb Lubalin Study Center is happy to invite Seymour back to talk about his career, his reflections on his time at Cooper Union, and also his personal passions.
In this free public event, Seymour will be in conversation with Steven Heller, author, editor, and co-chair School of Visual Arts MFA Design / Designer as Author + Entrepreneur program at the School of Visual Arts.
In the course of their conversation, Seymour and Steve will address the idea of designers as authors, activists, and artists—with an emphasis on Seymour’s new book: Seymour Chwast At War with War: An Illustrated Timeline of 5000 Years of Conquests, Invasions, and Terrorist Attacks (which will be launched on Kickstarter on April 26). They will both talk about and show unpublished works by Seymour (such as book proposals).
An audience Q&A will follow the on-stage conversation. This is event is open to the public, but registration is requested.
