Multiple images, reflecting different aspects of his subjects, have been a Gill hallmark ever since his first artistic success, a triptych commemorating the tragic suicide of Marilyn Monroe in 1962. That painting started the artist on a prolific career that has already put his paintings in Manhattan's Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and the Art Institute of Chicago...
...taking pains to make the chain seem like a group of friendly neighborhood booksellers. Most B. Dalton ads use the first person to proclaim "I am having a sale," or "I see a growing interest in the occult." Mixing mechanization with the personal touch is a Dayton's hallmark that has paid off for the company as a whole. Last year Dayton's had sales of $265,507,000 and profits of $9,587,000, a gain of some 17% over the previous year. It expects to increase its sales by $100 million during fiscal...
Evans has capsuled the New Breed philosophy as well as anyone: "People today are interested in action, not cliches; problem solving, not promise making; an active concern for the future, not a passive contentment with the past." The hallmark of the politicians who recognize these concerns is an intense conviction that state and local governments must cope with their own problems rather than allow them to go by default to Washington for consideration. The approach is essentially nonideological, even nonpolitical?and thus is appealing to the increasingly youthful, well-educated and independent U.S. electorate. To new voters, says Evans...
...like life, tolerates contradictory kinds of honesty. Today architects like to show how buildings stand by calling attention to the structural system. In San Francisco's Alcoa building, the beautifully proportioned glass box hangs within a strong steel cage of vertical and diagonal steel beams. It thus avoids that hallmark of cheap building, a forest of interior columns. In the Gulf Life tower in Jacksonville, the architects went a step further; they expressed engineering stress lines by thickening concrete beams where they meet columns, narrowing them where there is less need for brawn...
Such an incident is less likely now than it used to be (a recent Chevy commercial actually mentioned Ford by name). But it still remains indicative of a certain way of thinking by sponsors. With the exception of a few enlightened companies-among them Xerox, Hallmark, Bell Telephone and Western Electric-most advertisers still prefer to avoid controversial or specialinterest programs, and are happily led to the kind of show that provides the best frame for a sales pitch. Sometimes the frame and the picture merge completely, as when Clairol builds a beauty pageant around its commercials...
