Jan Tschichold (1902-1974 ) was one of the most outstanding and
influential graphic artists and typographers of the 20th century.
Throughout his life he stood in the service of print and writing,
first as a talented young calligrapher and designer of some 70
posters and then, later on, as a self-critical typographer and
typeface designer. In his posters, he expresses the avant-garde
ideas of the Neue Typografie, or New Typography, which were
strongly influenced by the Bauhaus. Tschichold received many prizes
for his work. For example, the Societe Typographique de France
appointed him an honorary member in 1960, and he was named an
honorary Royal Designer of Industry by the Royal Society of Arts in
1965.
This book is an analytical examination of Tschichold's posters.
It contains his own collection of posters, with works by Hans Arp,
El Lissitzky, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Schlemmer, and others, as
well as the approximately 70 posters he designed himself.
