About This Item
Octavo 21 x 15 cm, wrappers, (22) pp., edition of 500. In striking black and white pictographs, the author explores the use of symbols and runes in various historical cultures, and how symbol, rebus and letter impact and inform consciousness and communication. This work is a hallmark of modern graphic design. Tschinkel (1905-1983) is highly renowned in Czech and German lands for his work as a graphic designer, his engagement in constructivism and expanding typographic art. He participated in the Rheinische Gruppe Progressiver Künstler and the avant-gardes in Czechoslovakia for decades as a leading designer and edited many important publications during the interwar era.. Uncommon despite the fame of this work, with three copies found in North American institutions (Yale, UTL, MFA Houston).
