Scope and Contents

The authors write that stationery for the avant garde 20th century movements served as typographic manifestos and reflected the artists' and designers' ambitions to merge art into life and to create visual identities for themselves. This book contains an international avant-garde net-work time line that diagrams the interaction of the major movements and artists. The reproductions of the poster, "Kleine Dada Soiree" by Schwitters and Van Doesburg and the brochure, "Reklame Mechano" by Henryk Berlewi in this book are held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
