Synopsis "Norman Ives: Constructions & Reconstructions"
This first comprehensive account of a mid-century master covers the multi-faceted career of a fine artist, graphic designer, teacher, and publisher. It reflects Norman Ives&;s timeless relevance in the visual arts.Norman Ives: Constructions & Reconstructions is an in-depth chronicle of the spirit and genius of master fine artist and renowned graphic designer Norman Ives. This book introduces unseen treasures showcasing the brilliant variety and vitality of his work. It fully defines Ives&;s signature use of letterform fragments. These became the lyrical strokes of his abstract constructions and reconstructions. The book is in itself a work of art. Ives&;s design and art anticipates the percolating type-as-art movement popularized by Robert Indiana&;s LOVE sculptures. Type-related art has since become ubiquitous in painting and sculpture, as well as other massive architectural &;type works.&; Ives&;s work fits squarely into this genre having roots in the early 20th-century Modern movement. Ives was part of Josef Albers&; restructured Yale School of Art which transformed the traditional teaching of graphic design, leading it towards a more demanding and thoughtful profession. Ives was a rare artist who was recognized for his innovative work in design. However, his vision extended well beyond the field of graphic design. His paintings and collages are collected by major museums: The 1967 Whitney Annual exhibition of American painting, the Guggenheim Museum, Yale University Art Gallery and various other institutions.
