Saul Bass, the Hollywood exhibition
Graphic designer Saul Bass (1920–1996) conceived the now-iconic corporate identities of such companies as AT&T and United Airlines. Bass is also renowned for designing many of the most innovative title sequences and advertising campaigns ever produced in Hollywood. This exhibition focuses on Bass’s acclaimed work for the motion-picture industry. On view are movie posters, soundtrack-album covers, Bass’s storyboard of the shower scene in Psycho (1960), and continuous screenings of a montage of opening and closing credits, from the groundbreaking The Man with the Golden Arm (1955) to The Age of Innocence (1993). The documentary, Why Man Creates (1968), for which Bass won an Academy Award, is also being screened.
