MARY WELLS LAWRENCE

Dear Sophie -

MARY WELLS personifies media arts, having engaged a constellation of the foremost artists of the times to create a voice for Braniff Airlines. She employed ALEXANDER GIRARD for typography, graphics & fabrics, and EMILIO PUCCI for futuristic uniforms. She set the stage for ALEXANDER CALDER to paint the exterior of the plane, and for George Lois (another famed ad man) to enlist ANDY WARHOL & SONNY LISTON for the power of their celebrity.

WowOwow.

With love,

Mom
