Ed Benguiat (1927–2020)

The graphic designer Ed Benguiat has died at the age of ninety-two. From the New York Times obituary:

“Music is placing sounds, to me, in their proper order so they’re pleasing to the ear. What is graphic design? Placing things in their proper order so they’re pleasing to the eye.”
Benguiat’s Interlock has made several appearances in these pages.

Also from the NYT obit: “The most beautiful thing in the world,” he said, “is a blank piece of paper.” I love that.
