Lazlo Lissitsky - Pond-Dipping Habits of Princeton Graduates, An Academic Survey, Dr. Wesley Armitage, 1979.

Lazlo Lissitsky is a fictional artist that exists as a program creating mid-century designs the likes of which graced the covers of paperbacks, posters, and pamphlets of the era. As a programming project, Lazlo is continually being developed and expanded, with new possibilities and new compositions emerging with new iterative processes. Modernist design lends itself well to programmatic applications, but what arises from the massive complexity of options can be surprising. Sometimes the designs are complex and counter-intuitive, but sometimes simplicity is striking in itself.
