Herbert Bayer, Graphic Designer by Patrick Rössler Pdf

Herbert Bayer was one of the most extraordinary artists associated with the Bauhaus school. A true multimedia artist, he united graphic design, art, and architecture in a unique style that came to represent the bold aesthetic approach of the movement. A teacher with the school until 1928, Bayer went on to become a highly successful graphic designer in Germany, and later one of the most prominent figures in the 20th-century art scene of the United States. This broad biographical account, which presents previously unseen archival photographs and episodes from the life of Bayer and other influential Bauhaus artists such as Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and László Moholy-Nagy, follows Bayer through the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany and finally to his exile in the United States. Specifically, Patrick Rössler reveals for the first time Bayer's unique experience of 1930s Germany, where, with his commercial and artistic life shattered by terror and censorship, he distracted himself with leading a hedonistic life. Shining a light on Bayer's time in Berlin during the Weimar Republic, and his route out of the Nazi state, Rössler provides rich new insights into how Bauhaus artists navigated a protracted period of social upheaval and dictatorship, where commercial success was fraught with a deep hostility towards the regime and the temptations of emigration. Revealing the tensions of an avant-garde artist struggling to practice during a period of repression, Herbert Bayer, Graphic Designer speaks to both the memory of those who left Nazi Germany, but also the perseverance of artists and intellectuals throughout history who have worked under authoritarian regimes. Drawing on never before interpreted documents, letters and archival material, Rössler tells Bayer's compelling story – documenting the life of a unique artist and offering a valuable contribution to research in émigré experiences.

Herbert Bayer by Ellen Lupton Pdf

Herbert Bayer (1900-1985) was one of the most influential graphic designers of the twentieth century, with a prolific career spanning more than six decades and two continents. As a student and teacher at the Bauhaus, he used geometry, photomontage, functional analysis, and simplified typography to forge a new approach to graphic design. This book explores the evolution of Bayer's design process, from his student works featuring hand lettering to mechanically printed typography and hyperreal photo illustrations. The poetic and striking works are drawn from the Merrill C. Berman Collection and the collection of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, among others. Many have never been published before or appear in color for the first time here.

Herbert Bayer's World Geo-graphic Atlas and Information Design at Mid-century by Benjamin Benus Pdf

Herbert Bayer's World Geo-Graphic Atlas and Information Design at Midcentury, will be the first monographic study devoted to Herbert Bayer's 1953 landmark work of visual education, the World Geo-Graphic Atlas: A Composite of Man's Environment. The innovative methods for visualizing information that the former Bauhaus designer helped to popularize through this elaborately illustrated work shaped the look and character of subsequent geographical atlases and popular scientific illustrations. Yet, outside of the brief discussions that figure in graphic design history survey texts, historians have devoted little attention to Bayer's monumental and influential publication. In his account of the World Geo-Graphic Atlas's design and production, Benjamin Benus assesses Herbert Bayer's contributions to the emerging field of information design, while illuminating broader historical relationships between modern art and scientific illustration. Richly illustrated and drawing on extensive archival documentation, Herbert Bayer, the World Geo-Graphic Atlas, and Information Design at Midcentury, tells the story of the Atlas's creation and reception over the course of four chapters, each devoted to different aspects of the work's design and context. Beginning with a general overview of Bayer's career leading up to his work on the Atlas, Part 1 considers how Bayer's early experiences at the Bauhaus and his longstanding artistic engagements with geographic themes equipped him to undertake this project and provided him tools that found application in the Atlas's design. Part 2, containing an account of the Atlas's technical production and an analysis of its distinctive forms and style, situates the work in relation to a variety of print traditions, including atlas and book design. In Part 3, focus shifts to Bayer's adaptations and translations of the Atlas's source materials. By examining the work in relation to its models and precedents, the sections in this part clarify the nature of Bayer's contributions, while highlighting the efforts of his many collaborators, contributors, and precursors, who helped to shape the Atlas's contents and design methods. Part 4 interprets the Atlas's significance in light of the stated aims and interests of its patron, the Chicago-based packaging manufacturer Container Corporation of America. Benus concludes by assessing writers' claims, both for the Atlas's landmark status and for its continued relevance as a model for designers and educators. In exploring the important role that modernist map design played in shaping twentieth-century audiences' cartographic literacy and geographic consciousness, Benus's study will have appeal for scholars and practitioners in a wide range of fields, including art historians, map historians, graphic designers, artists, and educators.
