Editorial Reviews
Herbert Matter was a man who seemingly fit many lives into one by excelling in the creative disciplines of design, photography and film. The documentary The Visual Language of Herbert Matter by director Reto Caduff profiles his extraordinary life and seminal work. With the help of historical footage, photographs, never-before-seen film excerpts (some shot by Matter himself) and a broad overview of his extensive body of work, the documentary brings the picture of an overlooked creative genius back into focus.
Including interviews with Robert Frank, Massimo Vignelli, Steven Heller and many others, the film tells the story of a remarkable career and its influential impact on the evolving language of design during the short 20th century both in the USA and Europe.

I went to see the premiere of this film last year in San Francisco and I was incredibly intrigued by all of the work Herbet Matter had accomplished during his career. As a photographer and graphic designer it was refreshing to see the roots of when the blending of the two disciplines began. I recommend this video for anyone who is creative.

I saw the film when it was shown at the Swiss Consulate in Cambridge, MA. The film presented the work of Herbert Matter and how he was able to creatively solve visual problems. Anyone who is a designer or design educator would appreciate this film because it shows how Matter's body of work contributed to photography and design as one visual language. Matter's contribution to graphic design and how he has impacted today's designers is clearly seen in this film.

It is so hard to find work about Graphic Design history in video format. This work is amazing in it's coverage of Herbert Matter and the history of the time. There is a strong overview of how history affected design and how Art and Design affected history through the Modern Era. A veritable "Who's Who" of Art and times. Well worth the money and time.
