"The Netherlands is internationally famous for its innovative and influential graphic design. The country has nurtured some outstanding individual talents, among them Jan Toorop, Theo van Doesburg, Piet Zwart, Paul Schuitema, H. N. Werkman, Bart van der Leck and Hendrick Wijdeveld, and is also known for its strong tradition of enlightened and progressive clients. 'Dutch graphic design' offers a richly illustrated overview of the distinguished history from 1890 to the present day. From the 'Nieuwe Kunst' at the turn of the 20th century through De Stijl and postwar graphics to the contemporary avant-garde, the book presents a feast of visual imagery that will delight all graphic designers, artists and historians of art and design." - book jacket.
