Summary:
Although Samuel Abraham Marx was born at the end of the 19th century, he had the eye of a modernist - as an architect, furniture designer, connoisseur and collector. His vision was neither ostentatious or grandiose, but subtle and quietly magnificent. Ultra-Modern, Samuel Marx, Architect, Furniture Designer, Connoisseur is the first monograph on this lesser-known but increasingly influential American designer. In more than 200 photographs, Marx expert and decorative arts dealer, Liz O Brien, reveals many of his undiscovered projects including houses that have been raised despite preservationist protests and his range of furniture designs. Marx was also sought after for his ability to integrate art in well-heeled interiors. The private art collections of many of his wealthy clients have, in the last 40 years, been dispersed to major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as the Chicago Art Institute, in Chicago.

«Design is the manipulation of form and content... Content is the idea, or subjects matter. Form is what you do with this idea. How do I deal with it? Do I use color? Do I use black and white? Do I make it big? Do I make it small? Do I make it three-dimensional or two-dimensional? Do I use trendy stuff, or do I use Bodoni or do I use Baskerville? These are all the(...)

Summary:
Robert Massin (b. 1925) is a highly influential French graphic designer and writer. He has worked with many famous authors and playwrights, including Eugène Ionesco, Blaise Cendrars, and Raymond Queneau, and for twenty years has been the art director for the pre-eminent French publisher Gallimard. This is the first monograph published in English on the work of Massin, one of the key exponents in the development of post-war graphic design. Wolff charts Massin's wide-ranging career with detailed discussion of some of his most inventive and exciting projects, including the award-winning THE BALD PRIMA DONNA (1964) and LETTER AND IMAGE (1970). Wolff carried out her research in close collaboration with Massin, gaining unrivaled access to the Massin collection in Chartres as well as the designer's personal archives. MASSIN includes preparatory sketches, letters, and finished works, photographed especially for this book.

Summary:
In the 1920s and �30s, Paul Schuitema was one of the pioneers of New Typography and New Photography in the Netherlands, along with Piet Zwart and Gerard Kiljan. They distinguished themselves by conveying the message in a clear, concise and forceful manner. Schuitema himself referred to it as �right ahead�. In an international context, this typography and photography matched the work of El Lissitzky and Alexander Rodchenko in Russia, Karel Teige and Nadislav Sutnar in the erstwhile Czechoslovakia, and Herbert Bayer, Joost Schmidt and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in Germany.

The prints, which are both highly geometric and brightly coloured, are reproduced in the book at their actual size. Textual elements accent the various abstract shapes and repetitions on almost every page. ‘Small Prints’ is available in two different cover versions, which itself is the result of a printing experiment. By printing the contents of the book in three layers on a single print sheet, which was then cut and folded, variations in the cover emerged.

Michael Bierut est l'une des personnalités les plus notables du graphisme contemporain aux États-Unis, mais son travail et ses écrits restent mal connus en France. Le présent ouvrage rassemble douze articles qu'il a publiés entre 1992 et 2013 – la plupart sur le site Design Observer, dont il fut l'un des fondateurs –, et dont le propos dessine les contours d'un ethos professionnel original, entre modernisme pragmatique et contextualisme joueur. Ils sont complétés d'une sélection des projets les plus significatifs menés par Michael Bierut tout au long d'une carrière s'étendant sur plus de quatre décennies. Cette première publication en français est riche d'enseignements éthiques et pragmatiques qui en font une source d'inspiration essentielle pour les praticiens comme pour les étudiants en design graphique.

Le patronyme du typographe français Claude Garamond (v. 1510–1561) est aujourd'hui accolé à plusieurs dizaines de caractères typographiques numériques d'apparence pourtant très dissemblable. De la Renaissance à l'ère contemporaine, cet ouvrage s'attache à décrire et à expliciter les sources de ce qu'il faut bien appeler l'« imbroglio Garamond », au sein duquel le prestige du nom semble avoir, depuis longtemps, remplacé la connaissance des formes. Les enjeux culturels, esthétiques, économiques et techniques qu'il soulève intéresseront tous ceux pour qui la typographie constitue un champ essentiel d'expertise et de pratique professionnelles.
