Item description from seller

Glossy gray and color-illustrated wraps with cream lettering, French flaps. 263 ppp. Mostly illustrations in color. "This lavishly illustrated volume presents in full color over three hundred of the first posters selected from the rich resources of the graphic design collection of The Museum of Modern Art. The poster has always existed at the junction of the fine and applied arts, of culture and commerce. Throughout its one-hundred-year history - which parallels the history of modern art itself - the poster has provided an arena where painting, drawing, photography, and typography have come together, ifluencing each other in the process. In this book the lively interaction between design and fine art is described in terms of all the principal styles and movements of the modern period. The author also discusses the evolution of this unique medium, outlining its cultural as well as aesthetic development. Prominent among the more than 230 designers featured are such well-known figures as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, The Beggarstaffs, Ludwig Holwein, Lucian Bernhard, E. McKnight Kauffer, A.M. Cassandre, El Lissitsky, Alexander Rodchenko, Vladimir and Georgii Stenberg, Jan Tschichold, Herbert Bayer, Victor Moscoso, Tadanori Yokoo, and Niklaus Troxler." - inside flap description. VG- (wear to corners and edges, some scuffing and light soiling to wraps. soiling at the top of the first few pages.).…
