A study and toast to Orphism Last Fall I had the good fortune to see the Guggenheim’s “Orphism” exhibit. My knowledge of the term Orphism was very limited. As I progressed through six upward spiraling floors and all 90 works of art, it was clear that this period of art left a very distinct mark on color harmony and color contrast. An historic touchstone for me was the impact of Orphism on the mod and pop designs of the seventies. As a child of that era, I recognized its influences on album covers, mini skirts, and ‘cool’ typeface fonts. And in addition to that, it was just plain fun.
