Alvin Lustig

Alvin Lustig (1915-1955) was primarily known for his book cover designs for publisher New Directions. However, his range of pioneering work extended to other disciplines, including interiors, magazines, textiles, and typography. “Born Modern: The Life and Design of Alvin Lustig” by Steven Heller, a comprehensive monograph of Lustig’s work, was published by Chronicle Books in 2010.
