Keith Godard, who teaches design history in the MFAD Paul Rand Lecture series is history in his own right. With Louis Danziger, Godard founded the graphic design history movement with a series of lectures at Cal Arts in the 1970s. During the five lectures given on Tuesdays at MFAD he covers the bases, from Arts and Crafts to mid-century Modernism. Good show!
