The New York School was a group of Americans involving poets, painters and musicians operating in New York City during the 1940s, 1950s and also 1960s. Their inspiration emerged from Surrealism and the contemporary avant-garde art movements.
This group of designers involved a couple of generations within it. While the older generation involved designers from Europe, the younger generation involved students who were educated in a number of institutions and colleges such as the Cooper Union, Black Mountain College and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. These educated individuals eventually became the educators themselves forming a chain of modernist and innovative design.
