Norman Schmidt’s exhibition Typoems & Prints represents a return to the institution that he helped steward for over 20 years as an instructor in the School of Art’s design program. Known for his typographic innovation, book-making and expertise with a variety of print making technologies bridging several eras, Schmidt’s works all demonstrate a keen interest in the language of design. Norman received his BFA from the University of Manitoba and an MFA from the University of Alberta. In 1995 his book design for the book Super Paper Airplanes won the Manitoba Book Awards prize for design for children's books. |
