Poster, The Prepared Professional
This is a Poster. It was designed by Paul Rand. It is dated 1982 and we acquired it in 2002. Its medium is screenprint on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
The targets in Rand’s poster double as a pair of eyes. This ingeniously simple poster harbors a surprisingly complex metaphor, asking the viewer to identify alternately with the shooter and the target.
It is credited Gift of Marion S. Rand.
