Bass Notes at Kemistry

Kemistry gallery on Charlotte Road Shoreditch has got a great exhibition of Saul Bass work at the moment and wonderlandWPA shut early on Friday to go and check it out.

Story board for the shower scene in Psycho which he is rumoured to have directed!


Anatomy of a Murder - my pick of the show.
His film titles are incredibly simple - which is the beauty of all of Bass' work and why even now he is revered as one of the all time greats of graphic design. His work is very obviously the inspiration for modern day credits such as Catch me if you can...






The exhibition is on until March 17th.
