Red Reveal - America Today
Art Direction, Print Design
The America Today red reveal book is an archival project, that documents the movement of Thomas Hart Benton’s mural
‘America Today’.
Through letters, articles and internal memorandums, the viewer can read first-hand the entire history of the mural - from it’s commission to it’s final journey to The Met where it now resides in a Period room of it’s own.
Cyan is used for the base content. Since red is 180˚ around the color wheel, the obstructive images are filtered out by the red-lensed glasses.
