Résumé:
Postcards epitomize the complex history of visual culture. These often nostalgic, inexpensive mementos of commercial culture have also been carriers, even instigators, of colonialist exoticism and political propaganda. They straddle the by now largely obliterated line between 'high' and 'low' art, between an earlier modernist art history and more recent work in visual(...)

Résumé:
Postcards epitomize the complex history of visual culture. These often nostalgic, inexpensive mementos of commercial culture have also been carriers, even instigators, of colonialist exoticism and political propaganda. They straddle the by now largely obliterated line between 'high' and 'low' art, between an earlier modernist art history and more recent work in visual culture. This illustrated volume brings together the latest interdisciplinary research on postcards as a significant area of scholarly inquiry.

Résumé:
Le livre est au centre de multiples débats. Le peuple suisse a refusé par référendum une réglementation de son prix. Les diffuseurs sont accusés par la Commission de la concurrence de pratiques cartellaires. La librairie indépendante est menacée par la vente en ligne. L'avènement du numérique bouleverse notre rapport au livre et aux contenus, et fait apparaître de nouveaux acteurs. Pour autant ce territoire situé au carrefour interculturel de l'Europe a aussi connu ses riches heures et de grandes entreprises éditoriales y ont vu le jour, qui ont essaimé largement au-delà de ses frontières. De ce monde en ébullition et souvent méconnu des lecteurs que nous sommes, de ses multiples enjeux aussi, François Vallotton dresse un portrait clair et vivant qui témoigne de la place intime et essentielle que le livre occupe dans la société.

Posters circulated in Japan simultaneously with the country's swift reconstruction and economic revival after the Second World War.

Résumé:
Posters circulated in Japan simultaneously with the country's swift reconstruction and economic revival after the Second World War. If the first generation of poster designers was mostly guided by western modernism, searching for a universal and functional way of communication, the following generations from the 1970s onwards increasingly drew on their own pictorial tradition and maintained marked individual approaches. This was not least a reaction to the west's fascination with a poster culture with very different parameters and arguments. Until today, the Japanese poster functions most notably as a highly aesthetic image advertisement and indoor medium, presupposing the conception of the designer as an artist.

Résumé:
Album covers, concert posters, flyers, fanzines, comics and photographs by Swiss graphic designers, musicians and photographers from the past 50 years of rock and pop history make The Swiss Art of Rock a terrific graphic design document and resource. Lurker Grand’s third and most recent book project in a trilogy published by Edition Patrick Frey, Die Not hat Ein Ende (Need Comes to an End) is packed with images and interwoven with texts on both musical and graphic history. Here the focus is not so much on a musical era and its protagonists as on the visualization of the subcultures. In addition to visualizing the music, much space is devoted to the history of the music itself. Music journalist, collector and curator Samuel Mumenthaler, co-author of this book, offers a detailed chronology of the development of rock music in Switzerland. Roland Fischbacher, Director of the Visual Communications Program at the Bern School for the Arts, and Robert Lzicar, design researcher and designer, discuss the roots of Swiss rock graphics. Additional essays cover international influences, montage and image construction, sampling, remix and craft. Also featured is an extensive artist index including works by contemporary greats from H. R. Geiger and Peter Fischli to R. Crumb and Roy Lichtenstein, plus an index of bands from Aerosmith to Frank Zappa. This is a pioneering work that no one in Switzerland has undertaken to date, making for a fascinating and comprehensive study of the aesthetics of an artistic avant-garde.
