(Preface) 'This is the first book to be published on one of the greatest American designers and filmmakers of the twentieth century. 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 memorable logos and corporate identity campaigns of the century, including those for 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 film titles ranging from Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus in the early 1960s to Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear and Casino in the 1990s.
Edited, compiled and designed by Saul and Elaine Bass's daughter Jennifer and written by distinguished design historian Pat Kirkham, who knew Saul Bass, this book includes a wealth of illustrations, many never published before, and provides an in-depth account of one of the leading graphic artists of the twentieth century.'
