Details

Wolfgang Weingart
Weingart was German graphic designer, author, and teacher, known for pioneering the ‘New Wave’ Swiss aesthetic in graphic design. He experimented with graphic design and typography using the school’s printing press and enrolled at Basel School of Design, Switzerland, in 1964. Explore the Design Reviewed archive to discover artefacts connected to Wolfgang Weingart's radical approach to typography. The Swiss Modernism section captures the tradition he both absorbed and deliberately disrupted, while the Postmodernism movement collection reflects the direction his experiments pointed toward. Browse the Switzerland archive and the 1970s and 1980s decade pages to find work from the period in which his influence on international typography was at its height.
