FREDERIC HENRI KAY HENRION
Born in Germany, Henrion went to Paris to study with Paul Colin.
There he was exposed to the work of Cassandre as well as discovering
Surrealism, which gave him a taste for collage and photomontage.
He moved to London in 1939 and quickly grew to be a prominent
graphic designer. During World War II, he used his talents on behalf
of the war effort, designing posters for both the British and American
governments. In 1951 he founded his own studio, Henrion Design
Associates and began doing corporate identity work for clients such
as British Leyland, KLM, and the London Electricity Board. Highly
respected by his peers, Henrion was President of the AGI (Alliance
Graphique Internationale) from 1963-1966, President of the International
Council for Graphic Design Association (Icograda) from 1968-1970
and a teacher at both the Royal College of Art and the London
College of Printing. Throughout his years as a designer, a teacher and
leading figure in the world of British graphic design, he accumulated
an important archive of posters, which were given to him by his
friends and fellow designers around the world.
Lots 185-229 represent a selection of highlights from his personal
collection (excluding lots 189, 194, 211, 221 and 222).
