Author Description

Known by a wider public for his unmistakeable designs for the IDFA and theatre group De Appel, graphic designer Jan Bons together with designers such as Willem Sandberg and Otto Treumann helped define the Dutch graphic landscape in the post WWII period. Brightly coloured, torn and self drawn letters typified his style for poster and stamp designs along with wall paintings. The book, accompanied by a DVD featuring Bons at work and in a wide-ranging discussion, is stunningly produced and features a rich collection of illustrations.
