Modernism – In Print Dutch Graphic Design 1917-2017, 2017

Information

From the back cover:
‘Modernism: In Print. Dutch Graphic Design 1917-2017, written by Frederike Huygen, deals with the concept of modernism in Dutch graphic design on the basis of three reflections on the periods 1920-1940/45, 1945-1990 and the 1990s to the present. Modernism is seen as a complex phenomenon that relates to many aspects of the profession: it is a style and a design method, but it also means innovation, resistance and experiment, and stands for idealism and a mentality. The book is very richly illustrated with numerous examples from the collections and archives of the Special Collections of the University of Amsterdam.’

"Talking about myself as a designer is something that requires a powerful dialogue with my life experiences. In a radical way, I apply an exercise in which design forms become projections of life, extensions of meaning that constantly involve senses."
