Art Chantry's contrarian ways have placed him in the pantheon of great modern designers. 'Some People Can't Surf: The Graphic Design of Art Chantry' is the first survey of this visual iconoclast, who also designed the book and packed it with hundreds of his vibrant images. Gritty, funny, and refreshingly low-tech, his award-winning work has promoted countless bands, social causes, and non-profits. Tracing Chantry's career from his covers and layouts for the seminal music magazine 'The Rocket, ' to album covers for such cult bands as Mudhoney, the Reverend Horton Heat, and the Fastbacks, 'Some People Can't Surf' is a comprehensive look at his creative evolution. Complete with commentary on the unusual origins and unorthodox processes behind his work, as well as providing context for his oft-copied look, 'Some People Can't Surf' is a much-anticipated exploration of this idiosyncratic design master. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. N° de réf. du vendeur 326576
