This review is from: Active Literature: Jan Tschichold and New Typography (Hardcover)
Honestly I did not expect a book about Jan Tschichold to be fascinating--but I was wrong! Burke fills in the details that connect the man, the work, and the history: just how his name change played into his imprisonment as a "cultural bolshevik;" who Tschichold saw as his audience; how his correspondence with exponents of the "new typography" made him influential; how the terms of his residency in Switzerland apparently affected his rhetoric about design; and far more. Full of wisdom for designers today, plus many previously-unseen works by Tschichold and his peers. I have a much better grasp of the whole modern movement, thanks to this readable and insightful history.
