Rudolph de Harak was one of the most influential graphic designers of the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by early modernist masters, such as Will Burtin, György Kepes, Alvin Lustig, and Max Bill, as well as by the rigour, simplicity, and rationalism of the International Typographic Style, European Modernism, Abstract Expressionism, and Op Art, he developed and refined his timeless and pioneering work from his early years in Los Angeles to his success as a design consultant and educator in New York City. Throughout his illustrious career, he was continuously exploring the potential of abstraction, geometry, and colour, as well as experimenting with photography and various photographic techniques in new and exciting ways. De Harak brought his pioneering inventiveness to everything he created, from album covers, book jackets, and branding to furniture, exhibitions, and museums.
This comprehensive monograph is the first and only publication devoted to this fascinating and significant figure in the history of modernist graphic design and provides an in-depth and definitive account of the master’s life and work.
