Dutch Graphic design is internationally acclaimed for its remarkable innovation and influence.
This book – the first book to encompass the full spectrum of graphic design in the Netherlands from the end of the 19th century until today – is a richly illustrated overview with more than 500 colour illustrations. It will delight and inspire graphic designers, students, artists, and historians of art and design.
Art Nouveau, De Stijl, the Wendingen style, Dutch Constructivism, the traditional vanguard, H. N. Werkman, the turbulent 1930s,
the uniquely productive years during World War II, post-war rationalism and expressionism, and current graphic design are all covered in depth.
