Grass
n 1855, Walt Whitman published — at his own expense —
the first edition of Leaves of Grass, a visionary volume of
twelve poems. Showing the influence of a uniquely American
form of mysticism known as Transcendentalism, which
eschewed the general society and culture of the time, the
writing is distinguished by an explosively innovative free verse
style and previously unmentionable subject matter. Exalting
nature, celebrating the human body, and praising the senses
and sexual love, the monumental work was condemned as
"immoral." Whitman continued evolving Leaves of Grass
despite the controversy, growing his influential work decades
after its first appearance by adding new poems with each new
printing.
This edition presents the original twelve poems from Whitman's
premier 1855 publication of Leaves of Grass. Included are some
of the greatest poems of modern times: "Song of Myself," "I Sing
the Body Electric," and "There Was a Child Went Forth," works
that continue to upset conventional notions of beauty and
originality even today.

Massimo Vignelli was born in Milan, Italy in January 1931. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest graphic/ industrial designers and architects of the 20th century. His modernist and “intellectually elegant” approach has had an immense influence on various disciplines of design, including graphic design, houseware design, furniture design, apparel design and architecture.
Vignelli studied architecture in Milan and Venice between 1950 and 1953. He started his early career working as a designer at Venini Glass in Venice. He married his long-time collaborator, Lella Valle, in 1957. Within a few months, they moved to the US. They were both on fellowships. Massimo went on to teach at the Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology, and later joined Container Corporation of America as a designer.
In 1965, Massimo Vignelli became co-founder and design director of UnimarkInternational Corporation. With Lella Vignelli, he established the offices of Vignelli Associates in 1971, and Vignelli Designs in 1978. His work includes graphic and corporate identity programs, publication designs, architectural graphics, and exhibition, interior, furniture, and consumer product designs for many leading American and European companies and institutions.
Mr. Vignelli has had his work published and exhibited throughout the world andentered in the permanent collections of several museums; notably, the Museum ofModern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and theCooper-Hewitt Museum in New York; the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Montreal; and the Die Neue Sammlung in Munich. Mr. Vignelli has taught and lectured on design in the major cities and universities in the United States and abroad.
His work covers nearly every field of design including advertising, identity, packaging, product, industrial, interior and architectural design.
He has designed identities for international corporations including American Airlines, Bloomingdales and Knoll. He favors a clarity in design and is a fan of using Helvetica.
His first major foray into the field of identity and branding was through Unimark International, which quickly became one of the largest design studios in the world.

Vignelli also turned his attention to designing furniture for Sunar, Rosenthal, Morphos and Knoll, including the well-known Handkerchief Chair and Paper Clip table for Knoll. The Vignelli’s are extremely versatile designers whose work is distinguished by clean, bold lines and a confident use of pure color.
In furniture design he and his wife favoured the use of wood, leather, plastics, marble, stone and glass.
Their award-winning designs were exhibited internationally, and in 1981 the Parsons School of Design, New York, devoted an exhibition to their work and later in the Museum of Modern Art.
Vignelli was as skilled at articulating his design philosophy as he was at actually designing his aphorisms are as distilled and elegant as his visual work. “The correct shape is the shape of the object’s meaning,” describing his preference for a creative
process that investigated its subject from the inside out. Which he expressed in his books, The Vignelli Canon (2009) and Vignelli A to Z (2007).
New York Subways
Though the MTA ultimately opted for a new design in 1979, Vignelli was tasked in 2011 to create an interactive interpretation his System Map for the MTA’s “Weekender” program.
Through their long career, Lella and Massimo Vignelli have taken advantage of their various strengths, working together and separately. It is said that Massimo perceives what could be done, Lella what can be done.

He made his arrival in New York known in a big way, with his drastic redesign of the New York City subway map. After the map’s introduction by the MTA on August 7th, 1972, complaints from passengers started flooding in—about stations that seemed misplaced, about its weirdly square-shaped rendering of Central Park, about water that was beige instead of blue. Instead of striving for geographical accuracy, Vignelli had turned the labyrinthine tangle of subway lines into a neat, clear diagram. Color-coded lines ran at 45- or 90-degree angles, and each station was represented as a dot.
He has had work published all over the world and has several items in the permanent collections of various museums including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cooper-Hewitt Museum. Together with his wife he has established a legacy of design that lives on through their work. He has also recived many awards throught out his career from various international art and design associations. He has shared his design knowlege and philosophies in many ways from books to films and also teaching in different universities. Massimo Vignelli’s designs will be used as an example of 20th century design that will last well past his lifetime and teach new designers who can be inspired by his works. Massimo Vignelli passed away in his New York home in May 2014.
