Paul Rand (1914–1996) — artist, theorist, and educator — was a pioneering figure in modern American graphic design. He introduced the principles of the Bauhaus, De Stijl, and Russian Constructivism to the world of U.S. advertising, reshaping visual communication in the mid-20th century.

The HMCT collection, a generous donation from the estate of Joe Molloy, features Rand’s book covers from the 1940s to 1960s, where his refined modernist style is enlivened with a sense of playfulness and wit.
