Functional graphic design in the 20's

"This important book documents that astonishingly creative decade--the 1920's, with its entirely new and functional visual language, the innovative art trends of the twentieth century, which include Cubism, Futurism, and Dadaism, have had a determining influence on the development of today's visual language. Eckhard Neumann reveals through a clear and well-illustrated text the close historical connection between fine art and graphic design, and discusses the origins of graphic design today. Sections include commentary on the Russian modernist movement, the Dutch "de Stijl," and the Bauhaus."--book jacket.
