Ronald Clyne (1925-2006) was a freelance graphic artist who worked with
various New York publishing houses producing book jacket designs. Between 1951
and 1981, alongside this ongoing work, he designed over 500 LP covers for Folkways
Records, from some 2000 records released during the three-decade lifetime of
this successful highly independent company. This exhibition highlights the significance
of Clyne's distinctive contribution to American modernist graphic design
and cultural history.
