I’ve long been a fan of the work of the creative team Sagmeister and Walsh based in New York city. I’ve gone down to Melbourne to attend a workshop with Stefan Sagmeister and dragged a teenager daughter to one of his talks at the Livid Festival in Sydney - she enjoyed it too, phew. So I was excited to see this new collaborative exhibition about Beauty that Sagmeister and Walsh produced last year. Delving a little deeper I discovered this 10 minute talk about Beauty and how

‘Something was lost when functionality replaced beauty in art and design’.

Now that we all have more time to reflect, my vote is we get involved in creating more beauty in our world. Link to approximately 10min Sagmeister video talk here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXaF0bIthB0 and link to the page for the exhibition on their website here https://sagmeisterwalsh.com/work/all/beauty/ if you’ve got some spare time I highly recommend having a look at their other projects too.

Enjoy! Oh and any family members reading this, the printed book would make an excellent birthday present ……
