Max Burchartz

Typografische Arbeiten 1924-1931

The designer and artist Max Burchartz has remained largely unknown as an avant-gardist of modern design. In the 1920s, however, he had a lasting influence on the development of typography and advertising design. This collection of reprints attests to the quality of his work and encourages an exploration of Max Burchartz's typographic oeuvre. The selection ranges from early typographic works from the Weimar period to complex advertising concepts from the early 1930s.
