Max Huber

This comprehensive monograph on the 20th-century Swiss graphic designer Max Huber (1919-92) traces & illustrates his entire career. A fully illustrated survey, this book demonstrates that Huber was among the first to apply the aesthetics of the avant garde to a corporate and commercial environment, creating formal solutions that he would go on to use throughout his life. Among the 450 illustrations in this book (the majority of which have not previously been published) are examples of his celebrated posters for the Monza races, his jazz record covers and book series for major Italian publishers, which remain appreciated today as superb examples of their genres. Notes, index. Color illus. 232p.
