Wim Crouwel: A Graphic Odyssey catalogue

This one offers a comprehensive overview of the work of one of the most important and influential graphic designers of the modern era. Published to celebrate the major retrospective at the Design Museum in London, this book presents the work of a graphic titan and a pioneer of the new modernity. Crouwel’s early work anticipated the current computer era, and caught the sprit of early space age futurism. But this is not a usual formulaic design book: instead, Crouwel’s posters, catalogues, documents, manuals—even his stamps and personal photographs—are presented in the raw, bare-concrete setting of the Crouwel archive. It’s a fresh approach to still-fresh work.
