By the sixteenth century, printmaking — or art prints — had become a burgeoning industry. Millions were printed and many thousands have survived until the present day. Their significance goes well beyond their value as art prints or artifacts, revealing a great deal more than artists' talents and virtuosity. A closer look at their subject matter and iconography reveals much about the motives of those who collaborated to publish them, sometimes making them as much propaganda as art.

“The Road Not Taken,” a 1916 poem by Robert Frost is not merely a call for following one’s own destiny as many would like to believe, but the knowledge that for every gain, there is an equal and opposite loss — though these truths may not be readily visible to us. When faced with a fork in the road we have three options, including retreat; no matter which we choose can never know what fate would have befallen us had we gone another route.

It was the city’s original concept store – where art, lifestyle and shopping converged. Kravis arrived in Canada as a teen (after he and his family spent several years in Sweden as refugees) and went on to graduate in architecture at the University of Toronto in 1959.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

Despite it all, the sun rises, butterflies flutter, flowers bloom and puppies play.
