In his illustrated essay, Lars Müller traces the history of “Swiss Graphic Design” from the 1930s to the 1960s.
Müller-Brockmann’s posters have become world famous for their ability to convey information with great visual tension, a sense of drama, and an extreme economy of means.
Müller-Brockmann created a body of work in which timeless principles of visual communication are inscribed.

Lars Müllerは、自身が手がける挿絵入りエッセイで、1930年代から1960年代にかけての「スイス・グラフィックデザイン」の歴史を辿る。
Müller-Brockmannのポスターは、視覚的緊張感、ドラマ性、極めて効率的な手段を兼ね備えた情報伝達能力があるとして世界的に知られることとなった。
Müller-Brockmannは、いかなる時代においても普遍的なヴィジュアル・コミュニケーションの原則を刻み込む一連の功績を築いたのだ。
