Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Fine copy in fine dust jacket, nearly as new with panels of original shipping carton, which has come apart. William Golden (1911-1959) was an influential graphic designer who spent his career with the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), first creating materials for marketing radio and then making the transition to television. His most iconic design is the eye that became the symbol of CBS Television. This volume was produced as a posthumous tribute. Cipe Pineles (Vienna 1908-USA 1991) remarried, becoming the second wife of Will Burtin (Cologne 1908-USA 1972), a widower. Burtin had fled Germany with his wife to avoid creating propaganda for the Nazis. Both Pineles and Burtin were influential graphic designers in their own right. Accompanying the book are two oversized, highly individual postcards sent by them to Joe Kaufman, also a graphic designer, and his wife. The book and correspondence came from his library. Also included is a copy in wrappers of a memorial tribute to Golden. Front wrapper of this brochure is detached, otherwise it is in good condition. Priority Mail only on foreign orders.

First Edition. Sole printing. Oblong octavo; stapled wrappers, [20]pp; illus. Fine in the original pictorial wrappers. Prescott (Complete Graphic Works of Ben Shahn) attributes the text to CBS executive Robert Strunsky. Advertisers' prospectus, celebrating CBS's highly-rated radio documentary program "Mind in the Shadow," which exposed the inadequacy of mental health care in America. The prospectus is clearly geared towards upper-end corporate clients; sophisticated in both design and tone, it highlights CBS's commitment to serious journalism, assuring advertisers "a vast and growing public for their messages." The brochure is illustrated throughout with simple, semi-abstract line drawings by the modernist painter Ben Shahn, who at this time was at the height of his fame and reputation. It is a great example of Shahn's mid-century commercial work and one of his most uncommon illustrated books, OCLC noting fewer than a dozen holdings in American institutions. PRESCOTT p.115 (note).
