Raymond Loewy: Designs for a Visual Culture

A showcase of the industrial designs by the most industrial prominent designer of the twentieth century. (opening reception 5-7 p.m. Sept. 21)

Through Nov. 25, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, opening reception 5-7 p.m. Sept. 21, UMBC Center for Art and Visual Culture, 1000 Hilltop Circle, Catonsville, (410) 455-3188, www.umbc.edu/cavc, free. Everywhere you look, you see the late Raymond Loewy, whether you know it or not. The revered industrial designer created the look for things that are so ubiquitous it almost never occurs to the layperson that anyone had to think them up: iconic logos for Coca-Cola, Exxon, Shell, Lucky Strike (the red circle? That was him.), and the effin' U.S. Postal Service, not to mention work on Skylab and Air Force One and locomotives, cars, buildings, and a jillion supercool household items. Beginning today, UMBC celebrates Loewy's so-elemental-it's-almost-invisible aesthetic with a exhibit that's not so much must-see as must-pay-attention. —Lee Gardner
