(Preface) 'One of the world's leading graphic designers, Paul Rand has had a profound influence on the design profession: his pioneering work and typography has helped elevate in the fields of advertising design arts. In this lively and visually "commercial art" to one of the fine arresting book, Rand awakens readers to the lessons of the cave paintings of Lascaux that art is an intuitive, autonomous, and timeless activity and he shows how this is conveyed in works of art from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to a painting by Cézanne, African sculpture, a Georgian pitcher, and a park in Brooklyn, all of which are aesthetically pleasing no matter what their era, place, purpose, style, or genre.'
