Coles Bauhaus Typography at 100: Second Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The expanded edition of the only book dedicated to the Bauhaus’ typography and print works, with more than 40 pages of new material Known for its bold sans-serif typefaces, crisp asymmetrical grids and clean use of negative space, the Bauhaus school emerged as the forebearer of a new look—one that seized the tools of mass production in the creation of a radical new art. Its visual hallmarks have come to define modernity as it appears on the printed page. A bestseller upon its first publication, Bauhaus Typography at 100 explores the school’s legacy in graphic and typographic design through artifacts of its own making—its books, magazines, course materials, product catalogs, stationery, promotional flyers and other ephemera.
Now, this colorfully designed and highly giftable volume returns in an expanded second edition, with two additional signatures of new material. Readers learn of typographic masters László Moholy-Nagy, Herbert Bayer and Joost Schmidt, who channeled Constructivism’s geometric forms and optimism for industry into printed vehicles for the school’s teachings. The book also shines light on the Bauhaus’ lesser-known early forays into expressive lettering and illustration, and traces the school’s immediate impact on seminal design movements such as the New Typography. Including an introduction from noted Bauhaus expert, author and curator Ellen Lupton, Bauhaus Typography at 100 is a must-have for any fan of modern design.
