Week 4 Research

 This week I did more research on Alex Steinweiss.  I was able to find out more about his style in this web page compared to others with a brief biography of him.  One way his works are easily recognized is by his "Steinweiss Scrawl", as seen on the pegs of the violin in the picture below.

His works also are known to range from elaborate designs with many visual elements to ones that are "simple and reflect a somewhat childish optimism."  He also used different typefaces for different elements of the album.
