Graphis

International design journal Graphis magazine featured Searle's work on several occasions over the years.

Its first feature on Searle profiled the artist in 1948 with this lavish 6 page spread.  Exposure such as this must have helped Searle establish his reputation in the years after WWII.

In 1958 issue 80 printed an 11 page spread on Searle and his work











In 1980 issue 212 profiled Searle again with text by Dr. Alexander Duckers





In 1969 the magazine invited prominent graphic artists and illustrators to celebrate its 25th anniversary.  Gene Gable looks back at that issue at Creative Pro.com









Searle contributed several spectacular covers:


Issue 80 A frightening Picassoesque female artist


Issue 129 (1967) Stuck for an idea Searle creates a cover from the very problem of 'artists' block'!

Issue 169
Searle managed to use this rejected cover from the New Yorker for a 1973 Graphis cover
