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.’

Dick Elffers, had been the chosen designer for the printed matter of the Holland Festival for much of the festival's years, he used a painterly style for his work with the festival between 1954 and 1965 and later a more abstract style between 1969 and 1972. As well as publicity design, Elffers was commissioned to design the summer stamps to promote the Holland Festival in 1972.
Graphic design continues to be documented and an increase in individualised documentation and curated social media accounts are furthering our knowledge of design from a worldwide historic standpoint. I would not feel complete without the collected design that spans the shelves of my archive. It’s my identity, my passion and my hobby.
