Book excerpt: Helfried Hagenberg (born 1940) was one of the first artists to explore the book's sculptural volume, as though it were marble--or wood. The sculptor cuts, hones, folds, deconstructs and shapes the "wood of the book" with a mathematical precision, creating "psaligraphic sculptures."

Extensive collections of personal papers, business records and artwork by Lester Beall, Will Burtin, George Giusti, and Cipe Pineles form the cornerstones of the Archives. Lester Beall: Space, Time & Content explores the work of Lester Beall through reproductions of RIT's comprehensive holdings.

Throughout his career, Beall's award-winning design and high principles made him a favored lecturer in professional and educational circles. He is now considered as one of the chief proponents of the American Modernist Design movement. R. Roger Remington, Professor of Graphic Design at RIT, has been seriously engaged in the research, interpretation and preservation of the history of graphic design for over 20 years. He has written extensively on the subject and is presently working on a book on Modernism in American Graphic Design.

Book excerpt: "With this visually stunning primer, designers will develop the skills and vision to produce truly innovative, stunning type design. Using more than 1,500 images from the 18th century up to the present day, the author describes type as a unique language that follows its own rules for communication and that requires great sensitivity for the reader's needs. Like its companion volume The Elements of Graphic Design, the book can be used as a first exposure primer for students and as a reader for professionals. Section one covers basic information about type design, while the remaining sections, What Readers Want, Creativity, and Typography Timeline, provide in-depth information about more advanced topics. Chapters include the elements of typography; the differences between type applications; how typography creates identity; what readers look for and respond to; step-by-step guides to developing distinctive type treatments; how to generate type ideas; and the historical development of typographic rules and letter forms. Written by a practitioner who regularly collaborates with today's leading type designers around the globe, this book offers insights into typography that normally require years of professional practice. Designed in an innovative two-color layout, the book provides a fun and systematic learning experience on multiple levels." --Allworth.

Book excerpt: In The Moderns, we meet the men and women who invented and shaped Midcentury Modern graphic design in America. The book is made up of generously illustrated profiles, many based on interviews, of more than 60 designers whose magazine, book, and record covers; advertisements and package designs; posters; and other projects created the visual aesthetics of postwar modernity. Some were émigrés from Europe; others were homegrown—all were intoxicated by elemental typography, primary colors, photography, and geometric or biomorphic forms. Some are well-known, others are honored in this volume for the first time, and together they comprised a movement that changed our design world.

Book excerpt: Annely Juda Fine Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of the works of the influential artist max bill, (Swiss, 1908-1994). The exhibition will include sixty works: paintings, drawings and sculpture from the 1930s through the 1980s. max bill, 's work is rarely seen and a solo gallery exhibition has not occurred in London for nearly thirty years.Architect, sculptor, painter, typographer, draftsman, curator and professor, Bill spent his early and formative years at the Bauhaus where he studied under Klee, Kandinsky and Albers between 1927- 1929. Moving shortly thereafter to Paris, the young Bill exhibited with the group Abstraction-Creation, along with Mondrian, Brancusi and Arp. He was engaged with several British artists also affiliated with this group such as Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson, and formed a lasting friendship with Marlow Moss.He is one of the seminal figures in Concrete Art and helped to form the Allianz group in 1937, which held a strong emphasis on colour theory that Bill carried throughout his work since his time at the Bauhaus.Notable in the current exhibition are the painted works that juxtapose colours from subtle to explosive in a way that makes one entirely rethink the spectrum. Coupled with Bill's extraordinary skills of geometric abstraction, which flow especially into his sculpture, the show is a dynamic interaction with some of the core principles of 20th century art
