Visual Presentation of Invisible Processes: How to illustrate invisible processes in graphic design [Anton Stankowski]

Visual Presentation of Invisible Processes: How to illustrate invisible processes in graphic design by Anton Stankowski, 1965. Arthur Niggli AG, Teufen, Switzerland. 9.5 x 12, pp. 128 with German, English and French text. Design by Anton Stankowski, Stuttgart.

An thoughtful book with more than (350) black and white and color examples (some full page) illustrating Stankowski’s experiments and approaches to both personal and commissioned (free and applied) work problems. A useful volume for those interested in functional, geometric and problem-solving design ... and art.

Excellent Introduction by friend and colleague, Hans Neuburg, who Stankowski worked with at the Max Dalang Agency, Zurich starting in 1929. “What he [Stankowski] was trying to do was to get to the heart of a material or function, to take a mental grasp of it in such a way that he was able to give shape and form to the sales idea he had formulated himself.” Thoughtful commentary and captions throughout by Stankowski with assistance from Fritz Seitz who he thanks for his collaboration on the text of the chapters.

A fine white cloth hardcover in a near fine dust jacket with only a hint of wear to the back cover and along the corners and edges. One of our favorite books!
