Who was Alexey Brodovitch?

Alexey Brodovitch was one of the pioneers of modern graphic design. Born in Russia, trained in France, he made graphic design history when he became art director of Harper's Bazaar in New York, where he transformed the magazine's aesthetic for over two decades. With his radically new approach to layout, typography and image, Brodovitch imposed a visual language that would have a lasting influence on the press, photography and advertising. He collaborated with some of the greatest names of his time, including Richard Avedon, Man Ray and Henri Cartier-Bresson, and passed on his vision through a discreet but seminal teaching style.
