(Preface) 'From the work of the avant garde to the monumental achievements of traditional designers in The Netherlands, the period from the end of World War I to the end of World War Il comprises one of the most exciting eras in graphic design history. These designers and their individual and collective accomplishments represent a unique phenomenon, both in quality and complexity. Their work has become the source of much of our own present graphic design language.
Beautifully illustrated with more than 80 color and 220 black-and-white illustrations, this book provides the first comprehensive record of this era that brought De Stijl and "new typography" to the forefront of the graphic arts world. Readers will get a close-hand look at the work of individual designers such as Van Doesburg, Werkman, Zwart, and Schuitema and at their relevance to the rest of the design world. The influences of Dadaism, Futurism, and Constructivism are also explored. Included is the first thorough bibliography of Dutch graphic design.'
