Ecole Cantonale D'art De Lausanne (COR), Roland Fruh (EDT), Louise Paradis (EDT), Francois Rappo (EDT) 30 Years of Swiss Typographic Discourse in the Typografische Monatsblatter

Annotation

The Typografische Monatsblatter was one of the most important journals to successfully disseminate the phenomenon of "Swiss typography" to an international audience. With more than 70 years in existence, the journal witnessed significant moments in the history of typography and graphic design. TM RSI SGM 1960 - 90 examines the years 1960 - 90, that correspond to a period of transition in which many factors such as technology, socio-political contexts and aesthetic ideologies profoundly affected and transformed the fields of typography and graphic design. The book includes a large number of works from well-known and lesserknown designers such as Emil Ruder, Helmut Schmid, Wolfgang Weingart, Hans-Rudolf Lutz, Jost Hochuli and many others.
