Egmont Arens was a Renaissance man and had a profound influence on our lives. No one knows of him today, but we see his work everywhere. In his younger days he was part of the Bohemian art scene, with his wife Jo Bell, a poet, and employed a young designer named Paul Johnston who went on to have his own press and later work for Van Rees Press in Greenwich Village. I knew PJ in his old age, and he was living in Arens' former Village garret. Those were exciting times in American art and society. Great article.
