|  Graphic Design BookshelfInformation design pioneer Edward Tufte sums up the ever-increasing relevance of graphic design to our times with his observation that “clutter is a failure of design, not an attribute of information.” In the golden age of paraphernalia, it falls to the graphic designer to clarify the clutter, and the ability to compose visual and linguistic data so that it grabs both eye and mind determines the success of just about every merchandized product, from a flyer in the mailbox to the web. Historically, graphic design has also defined the look of entire avant-garde art movements and even whole eras, through album art and movie posters. Below is a selection of our finest monographs and surveys on graphic design, from modernist Italian travel posters to web design. | TITLE ALPHABETICAL INDEX By David Reinfurt.

“The first image you have of your favorite films is probably a Bill Gold creation.” -Clint Eastwood.
American graphic designer Bill Gold (1921-2018) was the Mad Man” of movie posters. His life’s work spans seven decades and over two thousand films, and he was the man behind campaigns for the greatest movies the world has ever seen. The first movie poster Gold designed was for Casablanca in 1942. Over the next 70 years, he designed posters for Dial M For Murder, The Exorcist, Bonnie and Clyde, Bullitt, My Fair Lady, Get Carter, Dirty Harry, The Untouchables, Unforgiven and many more.

| FORTHCOMING Edited by Bettina Richter. Text by Elke Gaugele.
Advertising creates dream worlds, yet always simultaneously bears witness to its era. Both these tendencies are exemplified in fashion posters. Moving beyond the latest modish trends and beauty ideals, fashion posters reflect moral codes and social conditions. They are lifestyle propositions; they tell stories, seduce and shock. Playing with convention and provocation, bodies are sometimes lavishly veiled and disguised, sometimes sensually staged. At times consumers are only indirectly encouraged to shop. A button or a coat collar as a pars pro toto illustrate product quality in historical posters. A new, somewhat controversial approach to fashion advertising emerges in Benetton campaigns . . . .go to book page >> |  | STATUS: Forthcoming | 9/8/2020 This title is not yet published in the U.S. To pre-order or receive notice when the book is available, please email orders @ artbook.com | LARS MüLLER PUBLISHERS/MUSEUM FüR GESTALTUNG ZüRICHPbk, 6.5 x 9.5 in. / 96 pgs / 110 color. | 9/8/2020 | Awaiting stock | US $25.00 |

| NEW PUBLICATION Edited by Lars Müller. Introduction by Astrid Bähr. Text by Walter Gropius, Gertrud Grunow, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Schlemmer.
In 1919, the state art school in Weimar was reopened as the Bauhaus, under the direction of Walter Gropius and with a radical new teaching approach. Four years later, the first Bauhaus exhibition was held, presenting the school’s novel approach to art, design and education to an enthusiastic public locally and internationally.
The catalog Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar 1919–1923 was published in 1923 to accompany this first public showcase. This survey of the school’s transdisciplinary oeuvre put the Bauhaus idea on paper for the first time and gave a sense of its potential. Featuring numerous student and faculty projects, it . . . .go to book page >> |  | Free Shipping UPS GROUND IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.

| NEW PUBLICATION Text by Roger Mayou, Catherine Burer, Martin Heller.
From its inception in 1863, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent has used posters to spread its messages and values. This volume compiles this graphically singular and historically fascinating collection for the first time.
Whether used to recruit volunteers, raise funds, call for blood donations, encourage proper hygiene, prevent diseases, respond to natural disasters, warn about anti-personnel mines or offer first-aid training, these posters attract attention, provide information and promote the humanitarian cause. More than a means of communication, they are also witnesses to a particular time in history, capturing events that changed the world and expressing the concerns of . . . .go to book page >> |  | Free Shipping UPS GROUND IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.
