Artist ERIK NITSCHE (September 7, 1908 ? November 10, 1998) was a pioneer in the design of books, annual reports, and other printed material that relied on meticulous attention to the details of page composition, the elegance of simple type presentation, and the juxtaposition of elements on a page. His hallmarks were impeccably clear design, brilliant colors, smart typography, and an adherence to particular geometric foundations
In the span of Nitsche's tenure with General Dynamics (1955-1960), Nitsche's main goal was to help shift the narrative around atomic energy from one of bombs and destruction to one of peace and scientific advancement.
His first series of posters was created for exhibition at the International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, which was held in Geneva, Switzerland in 1955.
