Rudolph de Harak - Rational-Simplicity
  • Design Books

Rational Simplicity, the first major monograph of Rudolph de Harak by Richard Poulin

"Rudy is one of the unsung pioneers of American mid-century modernist graphic design. He had a unique and definitive point of view that was really never celebrated. This may have been attributed to his strict adherence to the formal principles of modernism and the International Typographic Style."
