Download or read book Recollected Work written by Armand Mevis and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing about Dutch graphic design duo Mevis & van Deursen conforms to type. Praised for their innovative but clear presentation, they have designed everything from artist's books for Gabriel Orozco and Rineke Dijkstra to an official government stamp commemorating the marriage of Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, based on the number two, since the wedding date was 02-02-02. This book represents a range of work from the past 15 years, mostly books but also posters and smaller pieces. However, the artists have chosen not simply to present the work again but to make it new through collage and reinterpretative interplay, thus "recycling" their innovative design.

In 1981 I was given the task to compile this book from the material that been collected. I arranged from the chapters according to the most important themes which were raised in the interviews. In addition, I turned the spoken language of Sandberg into reading language and reflected as faithfully as possible his own word usage. The text was authorised by Sandberg for the first edition ..."-- Excerpted from the author's introduction.
Download or read book Jan Van Toorn written by Rick Poynor and published by 010 Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jan van Toorn is one of the most significant and influential Dutch graphic designers to have emerged since the early 1960s. His designs persistently call attention to their status as visual contrivances, obliging the viewer to make an effort to process their complexities. Van Toorn wants the public to measure the motives of both the client and the designer who mediates the client's message against their own experiences of the world. He hoped in this way to stimulate a more active and skeptical view of art, communication, media ownership and society. Projects such as Van Toorn's posters and catalogues for the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven and his long-running series of calendars for the printing firm Mart.Spruijt are powerful demonstrations of graphic design used as a means of commentary and as a tool of critique. Later, as director of the Jan van Eyck Academy, Van Toorn drew together all the strands of his critical practice into a multi-levelled educational initiative that urged designers to think harder about design's role in shaping contemporary reality.

Download or read book Otto Treumann written by Otto Treumann and published by 010 Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Otto Treumann (1919-2001) is a major pioneer in the modernization of graphic design in the Netherlands. Inspired by Swiss typography and Bauhaus aesthetics, Treumann's oeuvre combines easy-to-read visual elements with iconoclastic color treatment, enhanced by his wide knowledge of printing techniques acquired during the Second World War when he forged documents for the resistance. Treumann enjoyed a special relationship with industrial clients, devising house styles and logos for the publishing house Wolters Noordhoff, the Kröller-Müller Museum, the Royal Institute of Dutch Architects and El Al Airlines; he also designed posters for the Industries Fair in Utrecht, the Rotterdam Ahoy and Tattoo in Delft. Based on materials from the Otto Treumann Archive at the Stedelijk Museum, and designed by Irma Boom, this volume surveys Treumann's career.

Book excerpt: "A new, detailed monograph about Wim Crouwel, graphic designer and exhibition designer who defined the look of post war Holland with his studio Total Design. His modernism was reflected in countless posters and catalogues for the Stedelijk Museum, in stamps and experimental work like a sensational computer alphabet. In the seventies Crouwel evoked a lot of criticism but nowadays he is seen as a cult figure and an inspiration for many. The book is richly illustrated and shows us very much of his fine works. The text focuses on his career and views, gives informative backgrounds on his work, and places it in the right context"--Publisher's website.
Download or read book Gogh Modern written by Andreas Blühm and published by Nai010 Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paintings of Vincent van Gogh remain as relevant as ever, exerting an ever-profound influence on generations of artists. Gogh Modern attempts to explain this influence through example, presenting an overview of major postwar artists whose work displays a strong relationship with van Gogh or whose work it would be hard to imagine without the existence of van Gogh. Thus in the paintings of Georg Baselitz, Willem de Kooning and Anselm Kiefer we can clearly recognize the methodologies and expressiveness of van Gogh. Uncompromising artists such as Arnulf Rainer and Bruce Nauman have, like van Gogh, steered art in a new direction. Arranged thematically, Gogh Modern offers plenty of opportunity to compare and contrast van Gogh and his modern-day colleagues, putting notions of tradition versus innovation, influence and inspiration in an entirely new perspective.

Book excerpt: Universal Tongue' celebrates the great diversity of the global dance kaleidoscope in the era of the Internet. It was born from visual artist Anouk Kruithof?s fascination with dance videos distributed online as a representation of self-expression, cultural identity, empowerment and fun.00In collaboration with a team of 50 researchers from across the globe, she sourced over 8800 dance videos online, which were edited down to a 1000 unique dance styles that she blended into a dynamic 8 channel video installation with a four hour duration, accompanied by a unifying soundtrack. The researchers provided a short text for each dance style presented in their found videos. These 1000 edited texts combined with screenshots taken from the videos introduce the origin, background and meaning of the dance styles. Et voilà! this ?dancyclopedia? through the jungle of the Internet was born!00This book shows how dance can be a way of knowing about the world. It is by no means exclusive, final, or academic. It is a statement. Organized in alphabetical order by the first letter of each dance style, it confirms the horizontality of 'Universal Tongue', by erasing typical categories of the world order, such as country, continent, or culture. Instead, it points us towards a more inclusive world with a limitless exchange ? a world where simply everyone is a dancer.
