Josef Muller-Brockman's impassioned and sudden appearance on the stage of constructive graphic design in the early 50s, at the age of almost 40, gives pause. What biographical developments proceded this energetic statement? What context created the conditions for an abrupt change from a subjective and illustrative view of design to one that was objective and constructive? The answer takes us back to the 30s, to the formative days when MB, the designer, and Swiss Graphic Design were still separate paths.

I was extremely happy with the service, promptness and the condition in which this book arrived. Every book purchase I have made from Amazon is like this. The book, Pioneer of Swiss Graphic Design was exactly what the recipient expected. I will never hesitate to order from Amazon.

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2001

A good introduction to Muller-Brockmanns work, the book takes us from his very early works to later exhibitions and poster design. It even mentions 'Grid Systems', which I am a firm disciple of. Graphic Design is a subject of which to have strong oppionions and Lars Muller has just that. I enjoyed his comments in the preface which were valid and sound. All in all an important walk through past design, which should stay contemparay for times to come.

A genuine classic

This is one of the essential design books. Muller-Brockmann's work does look dated to modern eyes, but the underlying principles are rock solid and utterly timeless, a fact reflected in the enormous prices original imprints now command. Every graphic designer should own a copy of this book and I guarantee that it will pay for itself many times over as an invaluable resource.
