Josef Müller-Brockmann



I wouldn't say that I have anything to say that hasn't already been said about this Swiss genius and pioneer of the grid. If you haven't already, look into his manifesto Grid Systems in Graphic Design. Definitely one of the authorities on the matter. Mostly, I am just so in love with this poster and how it echoes the sensibilities of the composers listed on it, particularly Berg. This is just a great example of the visionary talent of Müller-Brockmann.

R.I.P., Joe.
