Max Huber

The first complete monograph on the work of Swiss graphic designer Max Huber (1919-92), one of the most significant designers of the 20th century. Huber's work was consistently innovative, and by combining painting and photography with other graphic media, he remained avant-garde throughout his career, bringing the utopian vision of the modern masters to bear on corporate typography and identity design. Three essays cover Huber's entire career from the early 1940s, including his wide-ranging work in the fields of magazine, identity and exhibition design as well as expanding on his close links with a circle of brilliant artists, designers and intellectuals such as Josef Muller-Brockmann, Achille Castiglioni and Italo Calvino, among others.
