Saul Bass

Master of visual communication, Saul Bass was born in 1920 in the Bronx, New York City, United States. He was active from the 1950s to the 1990s, leaving his mark primarily in the genres of drama, crime, and mystery, with his most famous works being the title sequences for Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" and "Psycho," for which he became well recognized, despite not winning any major film festival awards. Bass' authorial style is known for its bold and innovative graphic design, often employing kinetic typography and symbolic imagery to tell a story within the story.

Personally, Saul Bass was a man who knew how to make the invisible visible, transforming the art of title sequences into a narrative tool as powerful as any in the filmmaker's arsenal.
