This exhibition highlights Alvin Eisenman's design work before and during his career as a design educator at the Yale School of Art for over 40 years. For a better understanding of the sources and influences that led to the creation of the seminal academic program in graphic design in America, this show includes some of Eisenman's earlier and lesser-known works. The exhibit also serves to display the role and range of a professional book designer. Included here is a video tribute to Eisenman by his former student Garson Yu: http://youtu.be/dR3YcVuKJLQ
