Scope and Contents
John Russo designed many of these items, which include poster prints, fliers, and postcards announcing social events and exhibitions, a program for a Parsons School of Design fashion exhibition (1964); "A statement by the Board and President of Parsons" (1971); "Questions and Answers about Parsons" (1991); and a Parsons School of Design undergraduate interior design brochure. Includes posters promoting a candlelight dance held by the Parsons Student Activities Committee at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in 1963 and 1965; black and white poster (23 x 35 inch) featuring the names of the Parsons graduating Communication Design class of 1973; one 20 x 29 inch poster for the Parsons graduating Communication Design class of 1979, with a unique bird illustration representing each student; and several versions of a one-color print of dancing Santa Clauses in a circular design. Dancing Santa Claus and the representation of humans as birds were reoccuring motifs in John Russo's illustration work.
