Cipe Pineles: Art Director Extraordinaire
From Type Magazine 2018: “Cipe Pineles was at the top of the graphic design profession by the mid 20th century—in terms of talent and accomplishment. Yet most of us don’t quite remember her. Is that because she was a woman? She might have said so, after rising to become chief art director of Charm and Vogue magazines, but waiting for 10 years to be allowed as a woman to join the New York Art Directors Club. Looking the archive of her work, we realize how great she was.” This talk will trace the extraordinary arc of Cipe’s career through images from her design archive, now newly organized and described at Rochester Institute of Technology.
A lively Q & A session will follow the presentation.
