London-based Abram Games was one of the most important graphic designers of the 20th century. Spanning his career of 60 years, his work creates a striking record of the social history of modern Britain.
Approached by the Public Relations Department of the War Office in 1942 to produce a recruitment poster for the Royal Armoured Corps, Games designed around 100 posters during World War II as the uniquely-appointed Official War Poster Artist. Following the war, he created posters for London Transport, Guinness, the Financial Times, and the British Overseas Airways Corporation. He also designed the first animated identity for BBC television, many covers for Penguin Books, and the emblems for the 1951 Festival of Britain and the Queen’s Award to Industry. Games also created postage stamps issued in Britain, Jersey, and Israel.
Naomi will talk about her father’s personal philosophy of “maximum meaning, minimum means”. She will relate personal stories, show his designs and progressive sketches, and explain his working process.
