Anthon Beeke is one of the biggest names in the history of Dutch design in the 20th century. This landmark publication brings together his impressive oeuvre for the first time. The book is organized according to the themes that played a major role in Anthon Beeke's life in design, such as the city of Amsterdam, jazz, erotica, collections, typography, photography, provocation and communication. What often makes Anthon Beeke's work more communicative than that of many peers is that his designs do not try to look like graphic design. Again and again, he seeks inspiration outside his own field. That independent attitude has always been a great inspiration for young designers and will continue to be for designers of tomorrow. The book includes contributions from Esther Cleven, Alston Purvis, Steve Heller, Lidewij Edelkoort, Erwin Olaf, Marian Bantjes, James Victore, Erik Kessels and others.
