Overview

Both native-born and immigrant men and women shaped the history of graphic design in America, particularly in the Modernist era. One individual who deserves more attention is German designer Hans Joachim Barschel (1912-1998). His singular design accomplishments furthered the Modernist impact on American graphic design. Earlier, in Berlin, he had begun a flourishing professional career, which expanded on his arrival in New York in 1938. Eventually, new design opportunities arose that led him to practice design in a different setting, then move on to share his extensive experience with students as a professor at Rochester Institute of Technology. In Hans Joachim Barschel: A Design Pioneer in Our Midst, R. Roger Remington charts Barschel's life and design work.
