Excerpted from 010 Publishers' description of "Paul Schuitema. Visual Organizer" by Dick Maan: "In the 1920s and '30s, Paul Schuitema was one of the pioneers of New Typography and New Photography in the Netherlands, along with Piet Zwart and Gerard Kiljan. They distinguished themselves by conveying the message in a clear, concise and forceful manner. Schuitema himself referred to it as 'Straight ahead'. In an international context, this typography and photography matched the work of El Lissitzky and Alexander Rodchenko in Russia, Karel Teige and Ladislav Sutnar in the erstwhile Czechoslovakia, and Herbert Bayer, Joost Schmidt and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in Germany."
