In return, early television introduced the public to the latest trends in art and design. This engaging catalogue comprehensively examines the way avant-garde art shaped the look and content of network television in its formative years, from the 1940s through the mid-1970s. It also addresses the larger cultural and social context of television. Artists, fascinated with the new medium and its technological possibilities, contributed to network programs and design campaigns, appeared on television to promote modern art, and explored, critiqued, or absorbed the new medium in their work. More than 150 illustrations reveal both sides of the dialogue between high art and television through a selection of graphic designs, ephemera, and stills from important television programs--from \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Zone \u003c\/i\u003eto \u003ci\u003eBatman \u003c\/i\u003eto \u003ci\u003eRowan \u0026amp; Martin's Laugh-In, \u003c\/i\u003eand more--as well as works by artists including Salvador Dalí, Lee Friedlander, Agnes Martin, Man Ray, Andy Warhol, and many others. \u003ci\u003eRevolution of the Eye \u003c\/i\u003euncovers the cultural history of a medium whose powerful influence on our lives remains pervasive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Jewish Museum, New York, and the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture, University of Maryland, Baltimore County \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJewish Museum, New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (05\/01\/15-09\/27\/15)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuseum of Art at Ft.
