E-book titled Art Chantry Speaks: A Heretic's History of 20th Century Graphic Design (2015) - synopsis: For decades, this avatar of low-tech design has fought against the cheap and easy use of digital software. Art Chantry’s homage to expired technology, and his inspired use of Xerox machines and X-Acto blade cuts of printed material, created a much-copied style during the grunge period and beyond. For this book, Chantry has drawn upon his extraordinary collection of twentieth-century graphic art to create compelling histories of the forgotten and unknown in essays that lionize the unrecognized illustrators of screws, wrenches, and pipes in equipment catalogs and reveal how some famous artists were improperly recognized.
