Saul Bass

Strongly influenced by Bauhaus style and Russian Constructivism, Saul BASS (1920-1996, USA) was not only one of the great graphic designers of the mid-20th century but the undisputed master of film title design thanks to his collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger and Martin Scorsese. Phase IV flopped and Bass returned to commercial graphic design, devising highly successful corporate identities for United Airlines, AT&T, Minolta, Bell Telephone System and Warner Communications.
