Abram Games was one of the most influential graphic designers of the 20th century. His innovative approach and distinctive style left an indelible mark on the world of design. During World War II, he created maps for the Army Bureau of Current Affairs, designed book covers, and developed military insignias. In 1942, he was appointed ‘Official War Poster Artist,’ producing over 100 powerful and memorable poster designs. His philosophy of “maximum meaning, minimum means” led to visually striking works that communicated complex ideas with simplicity and impact. So pioneering was his approach that some of his posters were considered too controversial for publication.
