Summary:
This two-volume work presents life and work of the English typographer Anthony Froshaug. "Typography & texts" concerns Froshaug's work. An introduction by Robin Kinross outlines the nature and achievement of Froshaug. Then a selection of his printed products is shown with extended critical captions, followed by layouts that he made as instructions. At the centre of this book is the section of 'texts' all the writings that Froshaug published in his lifetime or which exist in manuscript in some adequately finished state. This volume concludes with a catalogue of work, bibliographies, index (to both volumes). The second volume, "Documents of a life" is not a biography, but rather a sequence of documents, mostly drawn from hitherto private sources, interspersed with explanation by the editor. Among these documents are autobiographical memories by Froshaug, as well as correspondence between him and a range of contemporaries. Notable correspondences represent his attempt in the 1940s to publish texts by Jan Tschichold, and his friendship with the writer Stefan Themerson. Memories by his friend Wolfgang Hildesheimer are preseted here for the first time in English. Froshaug’s periods as a one-man printer in Cornwall, adjacent to the artists at St Ives, are documented. The book also represents his seminal teaching work at the Central School of Arts & Crafts, the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm, the Royal College of Art, and Watford School of Art.

He looks at works by Hogarth, Rousseau, Woolstonecraft, Emerson, Marx, Dewey and Benjamin to show how the modern system maintains its dominance through the assimilation of artists and musicians who resist it, and the distinctions it draws between artists and artisans, and high art and the crafts.
