Out now are 4 t-shirts in collaboration with Seymour Chwast. He is one of the most important graphic designers of the 20th century and a co-founder of Push Pin Studios. The 4 shirts are images from his vast history of design. The shirts–Terrorist, Bad Breath, Monkey, and War Business–are available at selected retailers world wide, and available direct at http://www.reservestoreonline.com/
Mr. Chwast first gained notoriety in the 1950’s with a playful expressive approach to type and layout based on revivalism, which was a radical alternative to the Swiss formalism at the time. Chwast is noted for his strength in concept and design. A sense of humor underpins his illustration along with a keen understanding of traditional design. Chwast, along with his colleagues in Push Pin Studio (which they founded in 1954), reintroduced the long divorced principles of illustration and design. Moreover, he helped formulate a new graphic lexicon based on knowledge, appreciation, and re-application of past styles and forms. His work has been published in countless design books and publications. Chwast, along the many years of design, has also been committed to social and political issues. The combination of an expression of these issues along with a graphic wit seemed all too obvious to have him collaborate with our company.
