Josef Muller-Brockmann by Kerry William Purcell
One of Switzerland's most important graphic designers, Josef Muller-Brockman is the father of functional, objective design. This monograph gives a visual understanding of his growth as a graphic designer. It is useful for those interested in the history of graphic design, design students, and professional designers."One of graphic design's most influential figures.. A fitting tribute to the father of the grid."—Creative Review
"Studies like Purcell's are the rarest of all design books... A long, continuous, engagingly written account of Müller-Brockmann's entire career. There have been a handful of graphic desgn books like this in the last decade... Knowing about Müller-Brockmann [...] is part of being a well-educated, historically aware designer."—Design Week
"Not only introduces us to many of his works [...] but engages with another set of questions: those of influences, of the social and political environment(s) of the time... A great book."—Grafik
"One of the most significant voices of twentieth-century graphic design, [...] Müller-Brockmann is perhaps best known as graphic design's leading proponent of the grid... With a combination of final design images, sketches, production drawings and unused design drafts from Müller-Brockmann's archive, all with detailed captions, this book provides a complete visual understanding of this prolific designer's oeuvre."—Ampersand (D&AD members magazine)
"Well-researched... Provide[s] a historical and professional context, in addition to broadening Müller-Brockmann's own self-abridged personal and creative narrative... It is illuminating to find rarely seen illustration, exhibition and set design works... Müller-Brockmann's achievement: a defensible claim to be the twentieth-century's most influential visual artist."—Eye (The International Review of Graphic Design)
