Richard Hollis Reihenfolge der Bücher

A new edition of this seminal survey on the history of graphic design in the twentieth century.

Was erzählen die Sonntagsanzüge der Westerwälder Bauern auf August Sanders berühmten Photo? Was bedeuten die Bauern auf den Bildern von Millet, was ihre Abwesenheit auf den Gemälden von de la Tour? Ist Francis Bacon ein schematischer Terrorist? Wie verändert sich ein Bild unter dem Auge des Betrachters? Warum sehen wir Tiere an, und wie sehen sie uns? Und worüber denkt Alberto Giacometti nach, der da im Regen über die Straße läuft? Bergers unorthodoxe Weise seiner Bildbegegnungen ist eine Aufforderung an den Leser, selbst andere, neue Formen der Wahrnehmung zu entwickeln, eine Art zweiten, »lesenden« Blick.

Under the professional name Ashley, Ashley Havinden (1903-1973) was one of the most successful advertising artists and designers working in Britain in the 20th century. This book marks the centenary of Havinden's birth and draws extensively upon material donated from Havinden's estate.

From its roots in the development of printing, graphic design has evolved as a means of identification, information and promotion, to become a profession and discipline in its own right. This authoritative documentary history begins with the poster and goes on to chart the development of word and image in brochures and magazines, advertising, corporate identity, television and electronic media, and the effects of technical innovations such as photography and the computer. A new final chapter in this revised edition covers the international developments and leading practitioners in graphic design over the past ten years, exploring the revolutionary impact of digital technology. With over 800 illustrations fully integrated within the text, this indispensable account is uniquely clear, comprehensive and absorbing."--Jacket
