description: Richard Paul Lohse was a design pioneer in various fields for over fifty years. This catalogue raisonn , a project of the Richard Paul Lohse Foundation, is the first publication to show the complete works of the Swiss-born artist and graphic designer. Numerous works spanning the time from the 1930s to the 1960s--many of them not available since their initial publication--are brought together here for the first time. Several essays shed light on the multi-faceted relationship between aesthetics and politics in the period just after World War II, exploring Lohse's influence on the development of modern non-fiction books, on advertisements and infotainment, and on Swiss typography, which has enjoyed an exemplary status worldwide since the 1950s. With its sumptuous illustrations and perceptive texts, Richard Paul Graphic Design from 1928-1988 is an essential contribution to the history of constructional commercial graphics.
