HENRY WOLF, PIONEERING GRAPHIC DESIGNER, DIES AT EIGHTY

Henry Wolf, the graphic designer and photographer who, as art director of Esquire, Harper’s Bazaar and Show magazines in the 1950’s and ’60s, held sway over American periodical design, died on Monday at his apartment in Manhattan, Steven Heller reports in the New York Times. He was eighty. Few magazine art directors at the time wielded more creative control than Wolf, who was known for his bold yet simple use of expressive typography, surreal photography and conceptual illustration.
