possess great typographic and photographic

purity of form.
amplifying the impact by reducing the visual
idea to its essential components.
In its purity of form and purposeful
expression, Hofmanns work is uniquely
personal.
His work deals with the universal language
of signs and symbols, often including
serendipity and always aiming for timeless
beauty.

Quotes

Another reason for my interest in the use of

black-and-white in design lies in my intense
preoccupation with the forms and analysis of
signs and symbols.
For after all, a poster does more than
simply
supply information on the goods it
advertises;
it also reveals a societys state of mind.
