In spring 2017, Binghamton University hosted “Milton Glaser: Modulated Patterns,” an exhibit of the design master’s then-recent work. The exhibit, curated and designed by university professor Blazo Kovacevic, featured wall-to-ceiling reproductions alongside original works, submersing the viewer in the visual environment. Two years later, the curators have followed with “Works of War: Seymour Chwast”—a second in their Masters series. Chwast was a co-founder of Push Pin Studios in 1954 in New York City, along with Glaser, Ed Sorel, and Reynold Ruffins. The group set the tone for the 1960s with their “Push Pin Style” of psychedelic-tinged, brightly colored, Art Nouvea–inspired illustrations for advertisements and major publications. Through their liberal use of historical reference, Push Pin helped set post-modernism in motion, and their affect influences our visual language to this day. Chwast has remained at the forefront of graphic design for more than 60 years. His work appearing regularly in books, magazines, products, and posters. Born in 1931 in New York City, during the Great Depression, Chwast came of age during World War 2. One of his passions, his pacifism, is evident from his earliest contributions, including in works on show in this significant exhibition. In 1957 he produced his “A Book of Battles,” featuring clashes from the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE through World War 1. The work was the first in a line of tomes dedicated to the subject of the insanity of war throughout history. During the Vietnam War, two of his posters—“End Bad Breath” and “War is Good Business (Invest Your Son)”—set the tone for the anti-war movement. When a young Bob Dylan and Joan Baez were photographed in front of it, the latter’s messaging was further reinforced, producing an iconic counter-culture image. Chwast continued to create peace

战争作品：Seymour Chwast Binghamton University Art Museum, Binghamton University, Binghamton, New York（2019 年 3 月 28 日至 5 月 18 日）由 Blazo Kovacevic 策展，由 Blazo Kovacevic 设计的展览和目录（展览评论）

2017 年春季，宾厄姆顿大学举办了“米尔顿格拉泽：调制图案”，这是设计大师当时最近的作品展览。该展览由大学教授 Blazo Kovacevic 策划和设计，展示了从墙壁到天花板的复制品以及原创作品，让观众沉浸在视觉环境中。两年后，策展人又推出了“战争作品：Seymour Chwast”——他们大师系列的第二部作品。Chwast 于 1954 年与 Glaser、Ed Sorel 和 Reynold Ruffins 一起在纽约市成为 Push Pin Studios 的联合创始人。该小组为 1960 年代定下了基调，他们为广告和主要出版物制作了带有迷幻色彩、色彩鲜艳、受新艺术风格启发的插图的“Push Pin Style”。通过他们对历史参考的自由使用，图钉帮助推动了后现代主义，它们的影响至今仍影响着我们的视觉语言。60 多年来，Chwast 一直处于平面设计的前沿。他的作品经常出现在书籍、杂志、产品和海报中。Chwast 于 1931 年出生于大萧条时期的纽约市，在第二次世界大战期间成年。他的热情之一，他的和平主义，从他最早的贡献中可见一斑，包括在这次重要展览中展出的作品。1957 年，他创作了“战斗之书”，以公元前 490 年马拉松之战到第一次世界大战的冲突为特色。这部作品是一系列致力于历史上疯狂战争主题的大部头著作中的第一部。在越南战争期间，他的两张海报——“结束口臭”和“战争是个好生意（投资你的儿子）”——为反战运动定下了基调。当年轻的鲍勃·迪伦和琼·贝兹在它面前被拍到时，后者的信息被进一步强化，产生了一个标志性的反文化形象。Chwast继续创造和平
