• Lubalin, like many other Art directors in that time, had a liberal political approach, but bringing out a revolution in politics was never his aim.

• He had a specific mission in his mind. And Eros served as a great testing channel for his design principles.

• His layouts for photographic portfolios showed exceptional boldness and sensitivity.
