A profile of American architect George Nelson. Born in 1908, Nelson trained in Europe and worked in New York. He was an intellectual who liked exercising his mind in several directions at once and worked in a variety of disciplines, including graphic design and journalism, in addition to designing houses and interiors. He sought to change stale typologies, simplify systems, and pare down forms, creating designs that are quiet and subdued almost to the point of unobtrusiveness. From database: Art Full Text (H.W.
