Barbara Stauffacher Solomon, Pioneer of Supergraphics, Dies at 95
Briefly

Barbara Stauffacher Solomon, a pioneering graphic designer, landscape architect, and artist in the 1960s, shook the design world with her supersize, geometric architectural painting movement known as supergraphics. Her bold, red and black designs with white space and sans-serif letters defied the traditional styles prevalent at that time.
Trained in the Swiss style of graphic design emphasizing modernist ethos and clean-lined Helvetica typography, Stauffacher Solomon's work aimed to revolutionize society through good design. Her notable projects included redefining the graphics of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and contributing to the Sea Ranch community's iconic logo.
