Seymour Chwast, New York, New York, 1979

Description

Years before real-life television drama became popular, the Graphic paid homage to the world’s most disturbing disasters. The main text was Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death.” Robbins wrote about the attractive nature of disasters, and “Infelicities” was a series of surrealistic imaginary disasters dreamed up by the Push Pin artists.
