Letter Perfect; The Art of Modernist Typography 1896-1953
Rohnert Park, CA: Pomegranate for The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, 2001. First edition. Hardcover. 107p, 80 large color ills. Fine / very good. Item #32909
Published to accompany an exhibition of the Institute's modernist collection--chiefly posters and advertisements. "The typography illustrated in this book is anything but 'letter perfect.' Hence, the ironic title, for many of these works are perfect in their imperfections: blips, fractured letters, smudges, missed alignments, and hand-rendered elements provide a human touch that draws us to them." Covers Arts and Crafts through the Bauhaus and beyond.
