Saul Bass saluted

It is indeed time for the creative genius of artist Saul Bass to be recognized (“A sharp eye for design,” Feb. 20). In the early ‘70s, I began classes in art history at Long Beach Community College with his short documentary, “Why Man Creates.” Witty, fun and historically accurate, it heralded the subject of creativity.

One brief scene engraved in memory was an interview between a man and a woman. She started asking questions in English, to which he replied in the same. However, numbers soon replaced words and the screen rapidly filled up with numbers. How prescient!
