OSKAR SCHLEMMER

Bruno Monguzzi is one of the most highly esteemed graphic designers of the Swiss tradition. This lot reveals Modernist echoes in the black, neo-Constructivist rules used as decorative emphasis, and the artist's allegiance to the functional, graphic style of Switzerland. The poster marks his collaboration with the Museo d'Arte in Lugano, where his playful, humorous style is balanced by a sense of purism and clarity.
