Instead, they're interested because the name connotes an austere functionalism in design that has infiltrated 1970s American life everywhere from typography to the mass-produced Marcel Breuer steel tubular chair. They'll wonder how this regulated style ever evolved from these 51 varied graphics--expressionist, primitive, whimsical. realistic, neo-classical, and architectural. And the Busch-Reisinger is not helping anyone by providing enlightening text or more visual information. No linear historical perspective adds to the horizontal historical sample of European...
