Josef Muller-Brockmann: Pioneer of Swiss Graphic Design - Lars Muller

The development of Swiss graphic design owes much to Josef Muller-Brockmann. His posters are world famous for their visual tension & communicative power achieved with clean, crisp lines based on the orderliness of the grid system. Muller-Brockmann's demand for neutral, functional, & objective design became the voice of Swiss graphic design in the 1950s & 1960s. The rules & constants that Muller-Brockmann formulated have new resonance today in the debate about the "complexity of the simple." An essay by Lars Muller traces the development of the Swiss Graphic Arts School & provides a clear understanding of the context of Muller-Brockmann work. Over 400 color & black & white images including posters, logos, corporate designs, & exhibition designs demonstrate the evolution of Muller-Brockmann's aesthetic.Mueller, Lars is the author of 'Josef Muller-Brockmann: Pioneer of Swiss Graphic Design - Lars Muller' with ISBN 9783906700892 and ISBN 3906700895.
