Seymour Chwast, the quintessential New York designer/illustrator/painter, is launching his newest book right here with us at AIGA/NY.

It’s called Seymour.
 
Chwast and Steven Heller will flip through the book chapter by chapter and allow us to listen in on their various and variegated commentary. Chwast has promised to expose his obsessions, as well as his fears, follies and successes.

We’ll get to see hundreds of images, plus some never-before-seen animations. The night will be as relentless as Chwast. A professional who, for more than 50 years, just hasn’t been able to stop making pictures.

For those of you who don’t know, Chwast has illustrated for most major magazines and has designed and illustrated over 30 children’s books. He is co-founder of Push Pin Studios and is a root source for the spread of comic expressionism across America. His posters are held in many museums including Pompidou Center Gallery (Paris), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Library of Congress (Washington D.C.) and the Israel Museum. He is in the Art Directors Hall of Fame and he is the recipient of the AIGA medal.
 
With thanks to publisher Chronicle Books, copies of Seymour will be available for purchase. If you’re lucky he’ll sign one for you.
