electrifying america: the posters of lester beall



electrifying america: the posters of lester beall
at: los angeles county museum of art
from: now until may 31, 2009

there's just over a month left to see the exhibition 'electrifying america' at the LA county museum of art.
the show features a large collection of lester beall's posters for the rural electrification administration
designed during the 1930s.



steven heller writes: 'lester beall was influential in introducing modernist concepts to american
graphic design. he created a contemporary aesthetic influenced by avant-garde european design of
the 1920s and 1930s, characterized by a layering of words and images, dynamic use of color,
photomontage, and clarity of message.'
