Design Reviewed Recommends. The latest addition to the @LarsMullerBooks Museum für Gestaltung Zürich Poster Collection series, highlights the advent of the poster and the beginnings of graphic design as an independent design discipline: between the wars, photography, typography and visual abstraction were at the heart of the poster; based on the reform movements at the turn of the century and the various “isms” in art after 1900, it became both a reflection of innovative design ideas and an expression of the zeitgeist and its radical socio-political utopias. A highly recommended set of books to collect: designreviewed.com/series/mu…
