This book, which critically surveys Kauffer’s entire career, deals with his acclaimed posters but also emphasizes other aspects of his career as a designer: book jackets, book illustrations, carpets, textiles, and theatre costumes and sets. An Artist in Design is the first detailed study of Kauffer’s complete working life and provides a thorough and balanced assessment of its significance.
