It meticulously juxtaposes objects, some of which have remained overlooked, providing insightful insights into the intimate relationship between art and graphic design. By delving into the interplay between these two creative disciplines, this exploration underscores the profound influence of graphic design on the evolution and development of American art during a pivotal period in history.
