1. El Lissitzky’s cover and page from Destil is a great example of the 5 main points of modernism in Graphic Design.
2. Kurt Schwitters Pages from Merz 11 really illustrates the use of composition in modern Graphic Design.
3. In modern Graphic Design, the bellwether poster byE. Mcknight Kauffer, the Daliy Herald is one the best examples of geometric abstraction and futurism.
Hi David - I like how you are keying in on "Great examples" and "one of the best examples" and "really illustrates." These get me interested in your point of view - hope your classmates make note of this.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure which images you mean of Lissitzky's - do you mean the dutch translation of About Two Squares?" Personally I would love to see you take a hard look at the Merz publications. Schwitters always seemed to be having a good time, but I think he used Merz very earnestly to work out his ideas of "The New Typography" and "New Ring of Advertising Designers."
