A colossal archive of exceptional printed matter from Europe's golden age of commercial art, 1919-1939

Between 1919 and 1939, typography, graphic design and photography coalesced into a far-reaching new form of visual communication: commercial art. This monumental survey presents the most outstanding examples of printed matter of the time--artist's books, magazines, corporate publications and more--in which concept and design were shaped by the Bauhaus, Futurism, Surrealism and New Objectivity. The period also oversaw the dawn of the photo-collages and photo-montages created by the typotects and phototects. Showcasing contributions by designers Walter Dexel, Max Burchartz, Piet Zwart and Jan Tschichold; photographers Paul Outerbridge, Karl Blossfeldt, Laure Albin-Guillot and Albert Renger-Patzsch; editors Harold Loeb, Ezra Pound, H.K. Frenzel and Katherine Dreier; as well as multi-talents El Lissitzky, László Moholy-Nagy, Kurt Schwitters and John Heartfield--to name but a few--this expansive publication with more than 3,000 images only scratches the surface of this exceptional and productive era.
