Description and Table of Contents
Description
Richard Paul Lohse, with his modular and serial orders, is one of the founders of systematic-constructive art in the 20th century. This book, a project by the Richard Paul Lohse-Foundation, is the first to present the complete works of the Swiss-born artist and graphic designer. Numerous works, some of them not accessible since their first publication, are brought together here for the first time. A number of essays shed further light on the multi-faceted relationship between aesthetics and politics from the 1930s, exploring Lohse's influence on the development of modern non-fiction books. The essays also explore the parallel development of modular and serial thinking in architecture and design and analyse Lohse's contribution to the magazines "Bauen + Wohnen" and "Neue Grafik". These volumes are part of a four volume series dealing with the pictorial work of Richard Paul Lohse. The first volume is in German, the second in English.
