FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 292 pages. -- with a bonus offer--; The Most Comprehensive Monograph on the Pioneering Swiss Graphic Designer Ever Published "A visual poet a resourceful designer and a pioneer in education--across all forms his creations spoke with the same unified harmony of line color and image. He taught discipline clarity honesty and integrity through example. In a profession critically short on such values his life and work continue to personify the ideal of a committed humane and conscientious designer." Kerry William Purcell author Josef Müller-Brockmann 1914-96 was one of the most important and prolific voices of graphic design who created many of twentieth century's most significant and memorable posters. He was a leading practitioner and theorist of the Swiss Style which emphasized cleanliness readability and objectivity. Beginning with the opening of his own studio in Zurich in 1936 and working until his death in 1996 the mark he left behind is immeasurable. JOSEF MÜLLER-BROCKMANN by Kerry William Purcell is the most comprehensive monograph on the graphic designer ever published--including over four hundred images culled from the designer's personal archive. Presenting the entire range of Müller-Brockmann's career ranging from his most famous works to never before seen projects this volume is essential for design students professional designers or anyone interested in the history of graphic design. Müller-Brockmann's work ranged from social/civic projects such as posters for the Swiss Automobile Club and Zürich Police to commercial projects for IBM for whom he was the design advisor in western Europe Rosenthal and Hermes Typewriters. He was also an influential mentor to contemporary designers writing a number of books on graphic design and its history. His contributions to magazines such as "New Graphic Design" his design philosophies and his ability to create design systems secure his status as a key figure in spreading the Swiss design ethic internationally. Müller-Brockmann began his career as an illustrator where his keen awareness for the quality of forms first emerged. He is perhaps best-known as graphic design's foremost proponent of grid systems to assist in functional and objective design. The grid system allowed him to organize his subject matter to create the most effective design. Even his designs that appear free of structure were rigidly organized by Müller-Brockmann beneath the surface. Müller-Brockmann was also an accomplished photographer often integrating experimental photography photomontages and light paintings into his design work. The grid system industrial typefaces and the use of photographic images rather than illustrations were Müller-Brockmann's trademark and ultimately the classic emblems of Swiss graphic design. This new book offers readers the ability to approach Müller-Brockmann's work from several points of view resulting in an extension of his influence on graphic design beyond his familiar poster work. Illustrated by images of the final designs sketches and production drawings from his archive--and with long captions explaining in detail the design structure and the client's instructions--this extraordinary monograph traces Müller-Brockmann's life from his childhood through early training rarely seen designs for the theater famous posters for the Zurich art scene corporate design work for clients and finally his efforts to educate young designers. . 2006. 0714843490 .

1895Best.-Nr. 28192London: Macmillan and Co 1895. First edition. Hardcover. g. Quarto. XIX 3 702 2 IX 1 832pp. Uncut. Original red cloth with gold lettering on spines. Frontispiece in each volume protected with a tissue-guard. First edition of this 2-vol. set biography of Cardinal Manning and his conversion to Catholicism. Manning's belief in Anglicanism was shattered in 1850 when in the so-called Gorham judgement the Privy Council successfully ordered the Church to institute an Evangelical clergyman who denied that the sacrament of baptism had an objective effect of baptismal regeneration. The denial of the objective effect of the sacraments was to Manning and many others a grave heresy contradicting the clear tradition of the Christian Church from the Fathers of the Church on and the fact that a civil secular court had the power to force the Anglican Church to accept such a heretical opinion proved to him that far from being a divinely created institution the Anglican church was merely a man-made creation of the English Parliament.
