Piet Zwart (1885-1977)

Résumé du livre

"Piet Zwart called himself an interior designer, industrial and graphic designer and ""typotect"", but never a photographer, And yet photography plays a key role in his work. Photography which merely generated ""artistic"" images was an anathema to him. In the twenties he discovered the informative and emotive power of the photographic image. He married typography and photography and witnessed the birth of a new visual culture, the cameraless photogram and the composte photomontage forming its first expermients."
