E. McKnight Kauffer by James King
American-born Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954)—known as the ‘Poster King’— is recognized as one of the most important designers to have worked in England and the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. This book, which critically surveys Kauffer’s entire career, deals with his acclaimed posters but also emphasizes other aspects of his career as a designer: book jackets, book illustrations, carpets, textiles, and theatre costumes and sets. An Artist in Design is the first detailed study of Kauffer’s complete working life and provides a thorough and balanced assessment of its significance.
James King has written books on Paul Nash, Herbert Read, Roland Penrose, and Virginia Woolf. He is Professor Emeritus of English at McMaster University. King was educated at the University of Toronto and Princeton, has been a Guggenheim Fellow, and is a member of the Royal Society of Canada.
