Na sequência do evento “Art Chantry Week”, que decorreu na ESAD - Escola Superior de Artes e Design de Matosinhos (www.esad.pt) entre 19 e 23 de Março de 2007, foi publicado no número 52 (Summer 08/2007) da revista britânica Baseline um artigo da autoria de Emanuel Barbosa (professor de design na ESAD e comissário do evento) integrado na secção “Education”, coordenada pelo Prof. Ian Maclaren.
“Art is one of America’s most prolific and fascinating designers, a totally unique figure. He sifts through trash heaps of popular culture and turns garbage into gold—fool’s gold, perhaps, but it glitters with something magic that can’t be ignored.”
Ellen Lupton
“Art Chantry is a pioneer of American commercial folk art. His work holds an essencial place in the history of graphic design.”
Steven Heller
“Art Chantry is one of the few remaining heroes in a design profession increasingly obsessed with billable hours, branding, and focus groups; a profession that has forgotten the power of art and is in danger of selling its soul in a blind headlong rush to service the corporate client.”
Charles Spencer Anderson
