About this Item

Z : 16,5 × 24 cm, 6 ½ × 9 ½ in, 192 Seiten/pages, 323 Abbildungen/illustrations - The collection can be regarded as a brief history of both Swiss poster and Swiss graphic design. The whole range is covered: From the pictorial scenes used in the 1920s and the graphic and typographic solutions following the lead of the Russian Constructivists to the Swiss Style, which dominated the Swiss cultural poster until the 1960s, and more experimental approaches from the 70s. Today, innovative designs by young talents deliver surprising contemporary posters.
