Modernism - In Print Dutch Graphic Design 1917-2017

Lecturis 2017 ISBN 9789462262249 Acqn 27762
Pb 22x28cm 184pp col ills 33

Published in conjunction with an exhibition curated by Mathieu Lommen at the Special Collections
facility of the University of Amsterdam, this book by design historian Frederike Huygen explores
modernism in Dutch graphic design of the 20th century. Divided into three periods pre-war,
post-war, and from 1990 to the present it emphasises the various aspects and meanings of the
term modernism, and how its concept dominates the discourse on graphic design, through an
extensive overview of the subject. Moreover, it questions the canon by including some less well-
known examples of graphic design work, thereby giving recognition to an often underestimated
complexity.
