Raymond Loewy: the fine art of self-promotion
Article Abstract:
Industrial designer Raymond Loewy produced objects with curves. He designed trains, automobiles, kitchen ranges, iceboxes, pencil sharpeners and vacuum cleaners. His design philosophy was defined in the 1920s and the 1930s and rendered Art Deco into something that the US could understand. Loewy was a showman and contributed greatly to the history of publicity.
