On Monday evening I attended Paula Scher’s lecture for FIT’s Visiting Artist Program. I could probably ramble for several paragraphs swooning over almost everything that came out of her mouth. However, “das es borink” so here’s the gist of it: I admire not only her artistic talent (in both design and painting), but also her intelligence, wit and passion.
She started with a story of getting lost as a child trying to find her house because they all looked the same—if all the houses looked the same, were all the people inside the same too? It seemed like a good foundation to react against the Modernist design that she’s talked about disliking. (via)
