(Foreword) 'This retrospective exhibition presents Romek Marber's graphic design work to a wider public. For someone who influenced British life and culture in the late twentieth century such a retrospective is long overdue. Though it focuses on Marber's career in graphic design practice, of which little has so far been written, even less has been said about his influence on British design education.Alongside his graphic design work Romek Marber sustained an optimistic belief in the spirit of creative enterprise. Through this he set an exemplary standard for design education that helped to shape the evolution of British art school traditions. Throughout his professional career, Marber has taken time to support the development of young creative talent. In 1967 he was appointed as Consultant Head of Department of Graphic Design at Hornsey College of Art where he worked to establish one of the UK's first BA (Hons) degree courses in graphic design and also pioneered programmes in scientific and technical illustration. When he retired in 1989, as Professor Emeritus from Middlesex University (née Hornsey College of Art), Romek Marber left behind him not only a visual legacy but he also made a major contribution to transforming one of the UK's most vibrant schools of graphic art and design...'
