At age 95, designer and printmaker Kazumasa Nagai has a phenomenal eye, and huge body of impactful and beautiful work to his name.

Born in 1929, the Japanese designer was hugely instrumental in social movements in the 60s and 70s, and also created the Nippon Design Center, which he led for many years.

Dozens of his works hang in prominent art museums throughout the world, including ten in the Museum of Modern Art.

His ability to create graphical, high-impact designs made him a go-to talent for posters. Having designed over 1000 in his tenure, Nagai is widely respected inside and out of his native Japan.

Below are just a few of our favorites, and show his range and skill as a designer.
