Identity: The Story of Czech Graphic Design

by

Explore over a century of Czech graphic design and typography in this volume edited by design theorist Linda Kudrnovská, which serves as a contemporary record of the exploration of a cultural community living in this politically, socially, and visually turbulent region of Central Europe. The book examines the field of graphic design and typography through the prism of today’s understanding of quality, yet does not aspire to be a universal arbiter of taste, nor attempt to define an ideal connection between visual form and content. Chapters on public space, the everyday, nationhood and propaganda, media, book culture, and beyond borders shape its comprehensive exploration. Includes work by Ladislav Sutnar, Karel Teige, Alfons Mucha, Zdeněk Ziegler, Jan Solpera, Rostislav Vaněk, Clara Istlerová, Petr Babák, Robert V. Novák, Tomáš Brousil, Marek Pistora, František Štorm, Zuzana Lednická, and pays tribute to the outstanding designers who have shaped Czech visual culture. Designed by Filip Blažek and Adéla Svobodová Published by Paseka/Mowshe, 2024 Hardcover, 322 pages, color and b&w offset, 12.5 × 9.25 inches ISBN: 978-8-07-637545-1
