{"product_id":"anthony-froshaug-typography-texts-documents-of-a-life-1","title":"Anthony Froshaug: Typography \u0026 texts \/ Documents of a life","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis two-volume work retrieves and re-presents the English typographer Anthony Froshaug (1920–84): what he made, his ideas, his life. The first volume, \u003cem\u003eTypography \u0026amp; texts\u003c\/em\u003e, concerns the work of Froshaug. A substantial introduction by Robin Kinross outlines his nature and achievements: he was idiosyncratic, but of fundamental importance to any serious practice of design. Then a selection of his printed products is shown with extended critical captions, followed by layouts that he made as instructions. At the center of this volume is the section of all the writings that Froshaug published in his lifetime or which exist in manuscript in some adequately finished state. The second volume, \u003cem\u003eDocuments\u003c\/em\u003e, is not a biography, but rather a sequence of documents, mostly drawn from hitherto private sources, interspersed with necessary explanation by the editor. Among these documents: autobiographical memories by Froshaug, correspondence between him and a range of contemporaries. The whole is a remarkable and authoritative introduction to a \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eremarkable and authoritative designer. We’re taking our own copy to the beach in a couple of weeks for a re-read.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"(JFANAP)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50278307102960,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/7040\/9508\/files\/Froshaug.jpg?v=1787082118","url":"https:\/\/ksmallgallery.com\/products\/anthony-froshaug-typography-texts-documents-of-a-life-1","provider":"Katherine Small Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
