DESIGN AS ART - BRUNO MUNARI KARTONIERT (TB)

One of the last surviving members of the futurist generation  Bruno Munari's Design as Art is
an illustrated journey into the artistic possibilities of modern design translated by Patrick
Creagh published as part of the 'Penguin on Design' series in Penguin Modern Classics.'The
designer of today re-establishes the long-lost contact between art and the public  between
living people and art as a living thing'Bruno Munari was among the most inspirational designers
of all time  described by Picasso as 'the new Leonardo'. Munari insisted that design be
beautiful  functional and accessible  and this enlightening and highly entertaining book sets
out his ideas about visual  graphic and industrial design and the role it plays in the objects
we use everyday. Lamps  road signs  typography  posters  children's books  advertising  cars
and chairs - these are just some of the subjects to which he turns his illuminating gaze.How do
we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative
thinkers whose writings on art  design and the media have changed our vision forever.Bruno
Munari (1907-1998)  born in Milan  was the enfant terrible of Italian art and design for most
of the twentieth century  contributing to many fields of both visual (paint  sculpture  film 
industrial design  graphics) and non-visual arts (literature  poetry). He was twice awarded the
Compasso d'Oro design prize for excellence in his field.If you enjoyed Design as Art  you might

influential designers of the twentieth century ... Munari has encouraged people to go beyond
formal conventions and stereotypes by showing them how to widen their perceptual
awareness'International Herald Tribune
