Paul Rand on Art and Aesthetics
If you can’t see the video click here.
What a great snippet of a 1996 film by Preston McLanahan. I really like how Paul Rand bridges the gap between art, aesthetics, form, content and ultimately design.
Aesthetics is the study of the interaction and fusion between form and content. —Paul Rand
