Timeline
Saul Bass was born in New York City in 1920 and is a widely acclaimed graphic designer with a career spanning over 40 years.
He designed title sequences for thirteen Otto Preminger films. It was Preminger who hired Bass for his very first title-design job, for "Carmen Jones" in 1954. He also designed many posters for Preminger films, including some for which he did not design the titles, and even designed the cover for Preminger's autobiography.
Among his most famous works are the title sequences for such classic films as The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), North by Northwest (1959), and Psycho (1960). Bass used his innovative ideas and unique perspective of the world to influence his art, engaging his audiences and developing the graphic design industry in the process. Hitchcock's famous shower-murder scene in Psycho owes its success to the design work of Bass' storyboards.
He designed the title sequence in Psycho (1960) and one of the scenes where Arbogast climbs the stairs to his doom. He also drew up storyboards for the shower scene upon the specific instructions of Hitchcock. However, in interviews with Truffaut, Hitchcock states that he didn't use these because they "weren't right".
He was a major influence on Bernard Lodge, a famous British graphic designer who worked for the BBC for many years and whose work included designing the logos and title sequences for the iconic science-fiction series Doctor Who (1963) during the William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker eras.
Bass' short documentary Why Man Creates (1968) was spotlighted on the premiere episode of 60 Minutes (1968) in 1968. He is also responsible for the logos of many prominent corporations like AT&T, United Airlines, and Dixie.
The rumor that Bass, and not Alfred Hitchcock, had actually directed the legendary shower murder scene in "Psycho", which is promoted in Donald Spoto's controversial biography of Hitchcock and elsewhere, is not true. Bass himself emphatically denied it in an interview on British television in 1987.
In the opening credits to Cape Fear (1991), Bass superimposed shots from the title sequence he did for John Frankenheimer's Seconds (1966).
His biography is in "American National Biography". Supplement 1, pp. 32-33. New York: Oxford University Press, 2002.
In 2012, a Los Angeles County Museum of Art exhibition on Stanley Kubrick displayed some of Bass' correspondence with Kubrick while he was designing poster art for The Shining (1980). As well as showcasing some rejected designs, this revealed that Bass was fond of signing off letters by doodling a fish (a sea-bass) with his own face.
