  • George Tscherny (born July 12, 1924) is a Hungarian-born American graphic designer and educator. Tscherny has received the highest honors among graphic designers. He was awarded the AIGA Medal in 1988, celebrated in the annual Masters Series in 1992 at the School of Visual Arts, and inducted into the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in 1997. He has worked in a number of areas ranging from U.S. postage to identity programs for large corporations and institutions. Working at the height of mid-20th century American modernist design, Tscherny displayed "an ability to seize the essence of the subject and express it in stunningly simple terms" and to reduce "complex content to an elemental graphic symbol expressing the underlying order or basic form of the subject." At the same time, Tscherny straddled the line between the high European design of the early 20th century and the more popular forms of design communication in the burgeoning post-War American consumer culture. Reflecting on his career in Print magazine in 2014, Tscherny writes, “Unlike the fine artist who values only the original, I as a commercial artist, honor the reproduction as well as its source. I find myself comfortable at the intersection of high and low art”. (en)
  • George Tscherny (né le 12 juillet 1924) est un graphiste et professeur américain d'origine hongroise. Tscherny a reçu les plus hautes distinctions parmi les graphistes. Il a reçu la médaille AIGA en 1988, il a été célébré lors de la Masters Series annuelle en 1992 à la School of Visual Arts, et intronisé au Art Directors Club Hall of Fame en 1997. Il a travaillé dans un certain nombre de domaines allant du service des postes américain aux programmes d'identité pour les grandes sociétés et institutions. Travaillant à l'apogée du design moderniste américain du milieu du XXe siècle, Tscherny a montré « une capacité à saisir l'essence du sujet et à l'exprimer en termes incroyablement simples » et à réduire « le contenu complexe en un symbole graphique élémentaire ». Dans le même temps, Tscherny a chevauché la frontière entre le design européen du début du XXe siècle et les formes les plus populaires la culture de consommation américaine en plein essor après la guerre. Réfléchissant sur sa carrière dans le magazine Print en 2014, Tscherny écrit: « Contrairement à l'artiste des beaux-arts qui ne valorise que l'original, moi, en tant qu'artiste commercial, j'honore la reproduction ainsi que sa source. Je me trouve à l'aise à l'intersection de l'art haut et bas ». (fr)
