Richard Paul Lohse : Graphic Design 1928-1988 (illustrated ed)

Richard Paul Lohse, with his modular and serial orders, is one of the founders of systematic-constructive art in the 20th century.

This book, a project by the Richard Paul Lohse-Foundation, is the first to present the complete works of the Swiss-born artist and graphic designer.

Numerous works, some of them not accessible since their first publication, are brought together here for the first time.

A number of essays shed further light on the multi-faceted relationship between aesthetics and politics from the 1930s, exploring Lohse's influence on the development of modern non-fiction books.

The essays also explore the parallel development of modular and serial thinking in architecture and design and analyse Lohse's contribution to the magazines "Bauen + Wohnen" and "Neue Grafik".

These volumes are part of a four volume series dealing with the pictorial work of Richard Paul Lohse.

The first volume is in German, the second in English.
