Hi My name is Byron Adamson and I see you have written a book about John Vassos. He was my uncle and I knew him well. He was an amazing man. I have many of his original paintings, books and other items he was involved with as they were passed on thru my family. I was just curious how you came to write a book about him? And I am excited to read your book.

I discovered John Vassos when I was working on an exhibit on industrial design at the Cooper Hewitt and thought his artwork was amazing. I wrote my PhD dissertation on him, and found out incredible radios and televisions he designed for RCA - then I turned this into a book. I can't wait for you to read it. It is wonderful that you have materials from him. He was incredibly talented and important! I hope to also curate an exhibit on him eventually and would love to let you know about it. Can I have your email address and add you to my contact list to let you know about upcoming events. Thanks! Danielle(less)

Advance Praise for new John Vassos biography

"John Vassos is a complex portrait of an artist and designer whose early illustration work criticized the tempo and commercialism of modern life but whose later design work took for granted those same qualities and attempted to accommodate people to them."—Jeffrey L. Meikle, University of Texas at Austin

"In the first complete picture of John Vassos, Danielle Shapiro definitively captures an indust Read more of this blog post »
