A collection of the illustrator, Noma Bar’s work, which in its simplicity is at once striking and at second glance incredibly moving. I was taken aback at the depth of emotion that simple graphic shapes could evoke in me, some even bringing tears to my eyes. Noma Bar is incredibly gifted in his ability to take a familiar symbol and use empty space to give it a second meaning or to combine images to creat a dialogue. I read this in one sitting and each image was worthy of utmost attention to detail.

Really nice work! I've seen his graphic designs before in the UK, but this book gives you a lot of info. about his various projects.

Reduce to the max- Noma Bar is more than just an artist, no one else has the affinity to transpose difficult topics into plain objects.
This book is a wonderful tribute to an exceptional graphic designer.
