Description

The English edition of ‘Identity: The Story of Czech Graphic Design’ offers a unique insight into the world of graphic design and typography. The comprehensive edited monograph charts more than a century of development in the Czech lands in these disciplines, and shows how graphic design forms and reflects the identity of this Central European nation.

‘Identity’ brings together texts by leading theorists and designers, as well as essays by renowned experts such as Steven Heller and Jiří Přibáň, providing important historical and cultural context. It introduces the heroes of Czech graphic design, people who became famous both in the Czech Republic and abroad such as Alfons Mucha, Vojtěch Preissig, and Ladislav Sutnar, and presents interviews with artists who are now following in their footsteps and representing Czech graphic design and typography in a global context. These include Veronika Burian, Radim Peško, Aleš Najbrt, František Štorm, and many more. 

Get to know the phenomenon of Czechoslovak film posters, the long tradition of book design, and contemporary type design, which are unique even on a global scale. Learn when graphic design is a powerful tool for cultivating society and when it becomes propaganda.

This meticulously designed book brings together previously unpublished images, original sketches, mockups, photographs, and documents from private and public collections, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the intersection of design, culture, and history.
