We review the art of foremost “visual futurist” Syd Mead (1933-2019), regarded as one of the most influential industrial designers and concept artists of the modern age. He has been described as “the artist who illustrates the future,” and his outstanding design work, architectural drawings, and striking concept illustrations for the mid-20th century automotive, consumer electronics, and steel industries, and for some of Hollywood’s most prestigious science fiction films, have been termed “reality ahead of schedule.”

Mead’s sleek, ultramodern styling has defined a technological future that continues to influence contemporary designers and filmmakers, and this afternoon, we’ll post a gallery of some of his striking artwork, and concurrently as part of our Zoom session, offer a presentation on his visionary career, followed by a Q&A/discussion.
