1. Walter Dexel's 1924 poster urging consumers to "use only gas" in the home is an example of modernist design through its use of implied montage, design for design's sake, and ultimately its belief in the betterment of society.
2. In his 1925 poster titled "Homage to a Young Girl," Piet Zwart's use of type placement was typical modernism influenced by modernist experimentation with geometric shape and typographical treatment such as in the work of Schwitter's and Lissitzky.
3. Paul Shuitmea's 1929 advertising leaflet for a manufacturer of machine equipment is an example of modernism in design with its use of aesthetic self reflex, photomontage, san-serif type, ambiguity, and experimentation.

ReplyDeleteGreat work, all great examples of modernism as your comments suggest. I'd be interested to hear what you have to say about any of them. - Liz
