For a criticism of graphic design
See the wholesale price
This work brings together a series of contributions that raise the question of the relationship between graphic design - as a contemporary practice - and its history. Through the pages appears a varied panorama, where creators of Renaissance characters meet avant-garde of the twentieth century, Jan Tschichold, Marie Neurath, Edward Steichen and Richard Hamilton, where incunabula rub shoulders with design magazines, archives of school and museum exhibitions. Material history and social history intersect, typographic analysis and visual studies complement each other. Alice Twemlow, André Baldinger, Catherine de Smet, Christopher Burke, Gerard Unger, Olivier Lugon, Philippe Millot, Rémi Jimenes, Teal Triggs
