Lucian Bernhard (1883–1972) was one of the great originators of modern graphic design.
In a career spanning nearly five decades in Berlin and New York, Bernhard laid the basis for a new language of form and communication.
His brilliant posters, advertisements, book designs, and typefaces forged the very look of the twentieth century and beyond.
In this lavishly illustrated book, noted design historian Christopher Long traces Bernhard’s life and career, revealing new truths and exploding old myths.
Czech Photography of the 20th Century, published simultaneously in Czech and English versions, is the first book to present the main trends, figures, and works of Czech photography from the beginning to the end of the last century to such a large extent. Its 517 plates include not only the most important, well-known photographs and photomontages, but also works that have long been forgotten or are published for the first time. The book is arranged in seventeen chapters, supplemented with chronologies of the most important events in twentieth-century Czech photography and history.
