Book Description
The twentieth century was a landmark era in graphic design, the art that combines words with graphic images on posters, book and magazine covers, record jackets, billboards, and other print advertising and publicity media. This visually magnificent and factually informative volume tells the story of graphic design, then gives separate illustrated thumbnail biographies of more than 100 of the most influential and internationally known designers of the past 100 years. From the century’s early decades we find artists’ profiles and reproductions from the studios of Peter Behrens, Alexander Rodchenko, the Bauhaus, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, a sampling of Art Deco, and much more. Examples of Mid-Century Modern include Lester Beall, Yusaku Kamekura, and jazz record covers from various sources.
Book Review
This is one of the great books on the subject of Graphic Design History in the 20th century. Students love it because it is well written and focuses on truly major figures. The Meggs book is also the standard but should be expanded into a four or five volume set that can be more comprehensive. One volume should be devoted to women and under recongnized minorities. Please re-publish this book. The cover could use a bit more restraint. Inside reproductions are excellent, mostly in color and large enough to appreciate the work being addressed. –Ramone Mu?oz, Professor, Art Center College of Design
If you want a quick reference book for graphic design history with great pictures then this is the book for you! It is definitely a book that I will be beyond the graphic design history class that I bought this book for. –By soul.cielo
