[Bauhaus/graphic design] Herbert Bayer: HERBERT BAYER PAINTER DESIGNER ARCHITECT [Visual Communication, Architecture, Painting.] Alternate title in brackets as on dust jacket. NYC: Reinhold/Studio Vista, 1967. First edition. A near-fine hardcover book in a near-fine dust jacket: former owners bookplate on FEP. A nice copy of this early monograph on the Bauhaus master! Book design and typography by the author.
9.25 x11.25 hardcover book bound in full blue cloth with stamped red letters and embossed design to boards with 212 pages and over 200 color and b&w reproductions of Bayer's work as artist, architect, exhibition and industrial designer. Artwork printed in rotogravure. The first monograph on Bayer's varied career-- highly recommended.
The artwork is accompanied by a short text explaining Bayer's methods and research in visual design. "A complete and chronological retrospective monograph," according to Bayer himself, "this book should be looked upon as a descriptive review of my work; not as a critical evaluation". [Freitag 472]
