The New York School was a modern movement that took the formally established structure of European design and fused it with the youthful concepts of American design. It was in the 1940s that New York, with its diverse, artistic climate, became the birthplace of this influential style of design. By combining old and new methods, New York School designers concurrently solved communication problems and participated in ideological expression without dismissing the elements of vitality and unexpectedness that were introduced by the movement

The legacy this movement left on commercial art and design is important enough so that the El Paso Museum of Art could house an exhibit dedicated to this influential group of designers. The museum curated prints, posters, book covers, and many other pieces in order to be able to share these ideas with its visitors. The museum also desired to provide a very limited edition catalog dedicated to the exhibit for the better understanding of the audience and for educational purposes. The museum sold a series of prints of some of these influential posters created by designers, such as Saul Bass, in the gift shop, alongside other keepsakes.

Images of designer' artwork included are not of my ownership, although references are provided. Content written and edited by myself. Also, this exhibit was fictional, although, the catalog was not.
