 Joseph
Binder studied at the State School of Applied Arts in Vienna. His
poster work uses simple compositions and geometric patterns derived
from Cubist and DeStijl principles. In 1924 he won the poster design
for the Buro des Festes, Vienna. His work ‘Musik and Theaterfest’
demonstrates his control over pictorial elements and geometric reduction.
He emigrated to the United States in 1934 and was influential in developing
the pictorial graphic design style of the 1930Ős and 1940Ős. In 1939
he designed the poster for the New York World’s Fair. His success
in the US was further increased by winning many poster competitions
organized by the Museum of Modern Art, for such agencies as the National
Defense, the United Nations and the American Red Cross. He also designed
covers for Fortune and Graphis Magazine.  During
the 1940’s he was a visiting lecturer for the Art Institute, Chicago,
Pratt Institute, Columbia University, New York and many others. After
1950 he was art director for the US Navy Department in Washington,
DC. |
