S'il fallait caractériser, vite, le talent de ce surdoué polonais émigré en France dès 1963, c'est le mot «jaillissement» qui s'imposerait tant son œuvre témoigne, dès ses débuts, d'une effervescence de l'imagination servie par une surprenante aisance à manier les signes graphiques, lettres et couleurs incluses, des signes qu'il mène à un point d'exaspération d'une(...)

S'il fallait caractériser, vite, le talent de ce surdoué polonais émigré en France dès 1963, c'est le mot «jaillissement» qui s'imposerait tant son œuvre témoigne, dès ses débuts, d'une effervescence de l'imagination servie par une surprenante aisance à manier les signes graphiques, lettres et couleurs incluses, des signes qu'il mène à un point d'exaspération d'une stupéfiante efficacité. Ses noirs cernent rigoureusement le propos, ses rouges font flamber la page. Les directeurs de communication et ceux de la presse illustrée ne s'y sont pas trompés qui l'ont chargé de donner à leurs produits une image de modernité et d'extrême spécificité. Affiches de cirques et d'opéras, de musées et de films, campagnes publicitaires, logotypes et alphabets, photomontages et collages, tout lui est bon à démontrer, avec une audace parfaitement contrôlée, son exceptionnelle virtuosité.

Summary:
In the last ten years, the Dutch photographer Erik van der Weijde has been responsible for over fifty publications: these include not only slim photozines and simply produced brochures but also voluminous cloth-bound books — many of them distributed via his own publishing house 4478ZINE. This Is Not My Book provides for the first time an overview of his work, which constitutes one of the most important artistic positions at the interface between photography and independent publishing. The book uses large-format representations to show the lines of connection between the individual publications. It also contains van der Weijde’s 4478ZINE publishing manifesto and other texts as well as five conversations with the publishers Anne König and Jan Wenzel. This Is Not My Book indicates a full stop, an act of punctuation set down by the author with his published work.

Summary:
Muriel Cooper (1925–1994) was the pioneering designer who created the MIT Press colophon (or logo)—seven bars that represent the lowercase letters “mitp” as abstracted books on a shelf. She designed a modernist monument, the encyclopedic volume The Bauhaus (1969), and the controversial first edition of Learning from Las Vegas (1972). She used an offset press as an artistic tool, worked with a large-format Polaroid camera, and had an early vision of e-books. Cooper began her four-decade career at MIT by designing printed flyers for the Office of Publications; her final projects were digital. This illustrated volume documents Cooper’s career in abundant detail, with prints, sketches, book covers, posters, mechanicals, student projects, and photographs, from her work in design, teaching, and research at MIT.

Summary:
Hailed upon its publication as “discriminating, erudite, and eclectic,” From Lascaux to Brooklyn is now available to readers once again. First published in 1996, the year of Paul Rand’s death, the volume embarks on a wonderful journey from the time before graphic design to the author’s own studio work and beyond. An excellent companion to Rand’s Design, Form, and Chaos, this book awakens readers to the lessons of the cave paintings of Lascaux and demonstrates how this learning is later conveyed in artworks ranging from the Tower of Pisa to a Cézanne painting, an African sculpture, or a park in Brooklyn. Topics discussed include the relationship between art and business, the presentation of design concepts to prospective clients, the debate over typographic style, and the aesthetics of combinatorial geometry. This book engages and enlightens anyone interested in the practice or theory of graphic design.
