Graphic designer Ivan Chermayeff's collages suggest personalities that grow out of envelopes & stamps, letterheads & labels, pebbles & Polaroids, all magically transformed into eyes, noses, mouths, ears & earrings, hats, & cigarettes. Some are sad, some angry, some comic, yet all are engaging & inventive. As Joseph Giovannini writes in his introductory essay, "These are elliptical works that, like puzzles, challenge us to make connections that Chermayeff has made, to bring the fragments into a whole. The wisdom of his wit is that his invention beckons us into our own invention. We are the participants in his creation." For anyone who likes to look beyond the obvious, Suspects, Smokers, Soldiers & Salesladies is a source of endless amusement & inspiration.Chermayeff, Ivan is the author of 'Suspects, Smokers, Soldiers and Salesladies Collages' with ISBN 9783907078372 and ISBN 3907078373.
