Robert Brownjohn-An Introduction
Mar 08, 2007
A protege of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, late designer Robert Brownjohn combined audacious imagery with ingenious typography, illustration and found objects. His book jackets, album covers, posters, exhibitions, and film title sequences brought modernist design concepts to popular culture in the 1950s and 60s. Curator Peter Lucas presents this introduction to Brownjohn's life and work, including images of his print, package and exhibition design and screening of his film title sequences for James Bond films FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (1963) and GOLDFINGER (1964) and rarely seen ad films MONEY TALKS (1965) and THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE (1966).
Special thanks to Eliza Brownjohn, Emily King, and The Design Museum, London for helping to make this program possible.
