Book Description

1888001968 978-1888001969 April 2001 0
Bold images married to equally bold colors characterize the signature style of Michael Schwab, a dynamic designer whose museum-quality work is assembled in one volume for the first time.

The breadth of Schwab's quarter-century career is captured in these compelling pages. Shown are his pen-and-ink designs coupled with large, flat areas of striking color, which have been commissioned by some of the biggest names in American enterprise, notably World Series Baseball, Mondavi, the Sundance Film Festival, and the Muhammad Ali Center. Design professionals, students, and others concerned with graphic design will benefit from studying this fine body of work.

This review is from: The Graphic Art of Michael Schwab (Hardcover)
Schwab is the master at communicating so much with so little. His work is unmistakable and inspiring. His command of light and shadow is brilliant. This book is without a doubt the definitive collection of his work, though just a mere sampling I'm sure. One thing I love about the book is the fact that the body exhibits beautiful, large reproductions of his graphic work with no text, almost as if you were in a gallery looking at Schwab's work. The art is presented without interruption. Whether designer or illustrator you will find this book an invaluable and cherished resource for your library. Graphis has created a masterpiece with this one. It's big, beautiful, and worth every penny or more. BTW, the book was designed by Schwab himself. Simply inspiring! Bravo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff, March 14, 2002
This review is from: The Graphic Art of Michael Schwab (Hardcover)
There is a timeless and simplistic quality to Michael Schwab's work. He makes this stuff look easy when anyone who's ever done design work knows it is clearly not so. His logo designs are a pefect blend of color and form. That helps to make the product easily identifiable. I'm really not doing any justice to his work with my ranting... but if you're interested in art and design then I strongly recommend this book.
