Tschichold (1902-1974), a prolific designer, writer, and theorist, stood at the forefront of a revolution in visual culture that made printed material more elemental and dynamic. His designs were applied to everyday graphics, from billboard advertisements and business cards to book jackets and invoices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This handsome volume offers a new understanding of Tschichold's work, and of the underlying theories of the artistic movement he helped to form, by analyzing his collections: illustrations, advertisements, magazines, and books by well-known figures, such as Kurt Schwitters, El Lissitzky, Aleksandr Rodchenko, and László Moholy-Nagy, and lesser-known artist-designers, including Willi Baumeister, Max Burchartz, Walter Dexel, and Piet Zwart. This book also charts the development of the New Typography, a broad-based movement across Central Europe that included \"The Ring,\" a group formed by Schwitters in 1927. Tschichold played a crucial role in defining this movement, documenting the theory and practice in his most influential book, \u003ci\u003eThe New Typography\u003c\/i\u003e (1928), still regarded as a seminal text of graphic design. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Bard Graduate Center \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBard Graduate Center, New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/15\/19-07\/07\/19)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Stirton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300243952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300243956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 7.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Paul Stirton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992919113983,"sku":"9780300243956","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a408fc2-9ec4-4d05-b911-626cb22a2bd7.jpg?v=1683321533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jan-tschichold-and-the-new-paul-stirton-9780300243956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
