  • True, his work is simple, but it's not about production times, it's about the idea. And if his words were "easily devised through ones own cognitive ability", why has no one else written or commented on design and art this way? I have to disagree, but everyone's a designer with an opinion these days.

  • The title is "Conversations with Paul Rand" and runs about 30 minutes. It's a full interview with him in his home and at school with students. Very awesome video.

  • Was looking for presentation on Rand for class...there's this with bad audio and some interviews with a guy sucking sweets. Pity, really, given his fame. Strange irony that such a noted designer should be here with poor quality repro!

  • I love and respect Paul Rand and his work, but when he says Rockwell has "no form" he's dead wrong. The formal composition of some of Rockwells compositions are as sophisticated as the old masters. Rand has a point though, if he means that in Rockwell's painting the content dominates. Rand is a little bit jealous because he couldn't render and manner as well as Rockwell.

  • One of my fondest experience as a design student, was to shake Mr. Rand's hand after his lecture in Indianapolis in the early 90's.

  • The video quality feels like its from the 80s not the 90s

  • Ok.
