Revue Faire — no. 34 (An Award: What Is a Most Beautiful Book?)

by

n°34 — An award: What is a most beautiful book? By Thierry Chancogne This reissue of issue 34 of the critical graphic design journal Revue Faire questions the very notion of “beauty” in typography and the challenges surrounding the Most Beautiful Swiss Books award. Tracing the evolution of aesthetics from the Enlightenment to the age of industrial design, it asks what “beauty” means in the art of bookmaking today—since Jan Tschichold’s influential role in shaping the award in 1943. Published by Editions Empire Bilingual, in French and English Softcover, 28 pages, color and b&w, 8.25 × 11.75 inches ISBN: 979-1-09-599158-8
