In this essential reference, Herbert Spencer shows how new concepts in graphic design in the early decades of the twentieth century had their roots in the artistic movements of the time in painting, poetry, and architecture. Spencer examines the "heroic" period of modern design and typography, the beginning of which he traces to the publication in Le Figaro of the Italian artist Manetti's Futurist manifesto. He discusses the work of such "pioneers" as El Lissitzky, Alexander Rodchenko, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. He examines the artistic background of the new concepts in graphic design, and traces the influences of futurism, Dadaism, de Stijl, suprematism, constructivism, and the Bauhaus. His text is profusely illustrated with examples of the new typography, shown in genres that range from posters and magazine covers to Apollinaire's "figurative poetry." <br /> <br /> This revised edition, which follows the revised and redesigned edition of 1983, includes a foreword by design critic Rick Poyner that discusses the important contributions to the history of graphic design made by Herbert Spencer. 551909 1983 Pioneers of Modern Typography, Revised Edition total:17|5:6|4:10|3:1| 17 73 26 1 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue Mar 13 00:54:08 -0700 2007 Tue Mar 13 00:54:53 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 01:29:56 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 01:29:56 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 09:18:00 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 15 06:56:13 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 02 00:47:19 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 00:47:19 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 09 13:16:43 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 13:16:43 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat May 02 14:47:16 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 14:47:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 02 08:44:56 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 08:44:56 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jan 12 13:48:31 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 13:48:31 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Mar 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Dec 19 07:14:08 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 20 06:31:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Dec 14 10:42:39 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 14 10:42:41 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu Nov 20 19:28:09 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 20 19:28:09 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Nov 13 21:27:49 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 21:27:54 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Nov 11 08:40:13 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 11 08:40:13 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Oct 16 03:08:35 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 03:08:37 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Sep 23 22:07:16 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 22:07:16 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Sep 02 04:55:46 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 04:55:46 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jul 02 09:39:21 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 09:39:21 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jun 11 12:33:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 22 19:34:57 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 11 12:33:00 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Apr 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 15:36:17 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 24 10:40:19 -0700 2008 0 0 true true Sun Feb 17 21:49:10 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 17 21:49:17 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=119153
