Bien qu’enraciné dans les avant-gardes européennes, l’art concret, qui tend au rationalisme dans la structure, à la rigueur formelle et à la perfection technique, devint avec les années l’incarnation même de l’art et de l’esthétique industrielle suisses. Bien plus qu’un style, il représente un mouvement intellectuel, une quête de formules universelles et de structures éthiquement fondées allant bien au delà des limites des arts plastiques. "Suiza Constructiva" présente la contribution suisse à l’art du 20ème siècle comme interaction de l’art et des domaines appliqués de l’esthétique, plaçant la peinture et la sculpture aux côtés de l’architecture, de la conception graphique, du design et de la photographie, pour révéler un chapitre unique en son genre de l’histoire de la culture sous un jour nouveau.

Summary:
Karl Gerstner is one of the foremost Swiss graphic designers. In 1959, he and Markus Kutter founded the agency Gerstner + Kutter, which later became GGK - Gerstner, Gredinger and Kutter. Before long, the agency had become one of the largest advertising agencies of international renown in Switzerland. After withdrawing from active agency work, Gerstner designed the corporate identities for such companies as Swissair, Burda and Langenscheidt and worked as a world-wide identity consultant and designer for IBM. In this book Karl Gerstner recapitulates his now 50 years of active work as a graphic designer. The ups and downs of a designer's professional life are vividly illustrated with samples of work, both realized and rejected by the client. Despite its didactic structure, the book's tone is never moralizing: It is not Gerstner's intention to tell how it should be done, but rather how he did it. And, like with his other books - Designing Programmes soon became a cult book in the sixties and "Compendium for Literates" was recently published in its fourth edition - Karl Gerstner succeeded in creating an astutely written and designed book.
