WHO’S WHO IN GRAPHIC ART
A NEW VENTURE
UNE NOUVELLE ENTREPRISE
EIN NEUES NACHSCHLAGEWERK
Edited by Walter Amstutz
ince the GRAPHIS Press and the magazine GRAPHIS were
founded eighteen years ago the publishers have received innu-
merable requests from organizations and individuals for informa-
tion concerning the work and whereabouts of graphic designers
and illustrators. To meet these demands, GRAPHIS PRESS now
presents WHO’s WHO IN GRAPHIC Art, the first illustrated bi-
ographical work of reference to the world’s leading graphic design-
ers, typographers, illustrators and cartoonists — and indeed the
first illustrated WHO’s WHO ever published.
The present volume contains the carefully sifted work of 414 art-
ists from thirty-seven countries, with 4283 examples of their best
work, a selection from more than fifteen hundred names and fifty
thousand illustrations. A full page is allotted to each artist, giving
his address, photograph and signature, the fields in which he spe-
cializes and other pertinent information, as well as a concise bi-
ography and approximately ten examples of his most representa-
tive work. Important books, monographs and one-man articles
on his work are listed, including books of which he himself is the
author. The texts are in English, French and German. The biog-
raphies are arranged according to countries, and each country is
introduced by an essaye of its graphic art.
This WHO’s WHO is designed for those who are directly or in-
directly involved in the production and distribution of goods and
in the exchange of ideas. It provides information of great impor-
tance to designers, photographers, advertisers, printers, editors,
publishers and other buyers and sellers of printing and art; to mu-
seum administrators, curators, librarians, to teachers and stu-
dents of art, architects and many others concerned with the arts.
The accumulated facts presented here in concentrated form are
not otherwise accessible except at the cost of long and tiresome
research. So far, no attempt has been made to present on such a
scale visual and written information on graphic design and illus-
tration. Apart from its value to those who make use of it profes-
sionally, the work should prove both entertaining and useful to
students of the graphic arts and may provide the more casual
browser with moments of aesthetic enjoyment as thousands of il-
lustrations pass before his eyes.
1D eee la fondation des éditions et de la revue GRAPHIS, il
y a dix-huit ans, les éditeurs ont recu d’innombrables de-
mandes concernant les travaux et les formes d’existence de nom-
breux artistes graphiques. Pour répondre a ces demandes, les Ep1-
TIONS GRAPHIS publient ce WHO’s WHO, premier répertoire
biographique illustré des artistes graphiques, typographes., illus-
trateurs et caricaturistes de classe internationale, répartis dans
trente-sept pays, et comportant leurs meilleures ceuvres; c’est, en
vérité, le premier WHO’s WHO illustré du monde.
Le présent volume représente une sélection de l’ceuvre de 414
artistes, illustré de 4283 exemples choisis parmi cinquante mille
ouvrages dus a plus de quinze cents créateurs. Une page entiére est
accordée a chaque artiste: elle donne son adresse, sa photogra-
phie, sa signature, indique ses moyens d’expression, une biographie
concisee t une dizaine de reproductions de ses travaux les plus carac-
téristiques. Les études — livres, monographies et articles impor-
tants — qui lui ont été consacrées ou dont il est l’auteur, sont si-
gnalées. Le texte est en anglais, en francais et en allemand. Les
biographies sont groupées par pays: pour chacun d’eux, une pré-
face expose les diverses expressions de son art graphique.
Ce WHO’s WHOest destiné a tous ceux qui sont directement ou
indirectement intéressés par la production et la distribution des
biens matériels et par l’échange des idées. Il donne des informa-
tions de premier ordre aux publicitaires, aux imprimeurs, aux
rédacteurs-en-chef, aux éditeurs, aux autres professionnels des arts
et métiers graphiques, aux conservateurs des musées et des biblio-
théques, aux photographes, aux professeurs des écoles d’art, aux
architectes et a tous les amateurs d’art.
