3. "Few magazine art directors at the time wielded
more creative control than Wolf, who was
known for his bold yet simple use of
expressive typography,
surreal photography and conceptual illustration.
Rather than accept the typical role of an
acquiescent layout artist, he closely
collaborated with editors to define their
magazines' personalities. He selected
typefaces; commissioned pictorial features from
well-known or newly discovered photographers
and illustrators; and decided what to feature on
covers"

23. When Wolf received the AIGA Medal in 1976, Milton
Glaser wrote,
“When I first met Henry Wolf in the fifties, he seemed to
be the most sophisticated person I had ever known. He
owned a Jaguar, was always in the company of
beautiful women and was already clearly the best
editorial designer in the world.
Not to mention his charming Viennese accent. In the
sixties, he chaired a conference he called ‘Art, Love,
Time and Money.’ These four themes emerge as
obsessive elements in most of Henry’s work.”
