Sarah Herbold Presentation
“[She created] some of the most elegant posters in America. . . Her sense of
proportion is at once precise and measured, organic and humane. These
seemingly opposite qualities are clearly appropriate for her subjects and her
audience. Most of her posters announce arts events at [the] MIT, an institution
known primarily for teaching and research in science and technology. Yet,
surprisingly, those posters for other events (scientific lectures and academic
programs, for example) are equally imaginative, lively and personal. MIT is, first
and foremost, an institution dedicated to learning in all its varied, humanistic
facets. Through careful analysis, Casey uncovers the essence of each subject and
communicates the creative spark which is the source of all.”
- Joseph P. Ansell (Visual Arts Department chair Otterbein College)
