“In English-speaking countries, German graphic designer Anton Stankowski is largely understated.
This book documents much of Stankowski's work, with proofs demonstrating his methodology. The visual examples are noted for straddling the camps of fine and applied arts by synthesising information and creative impulse. Stankowski was inspired by the abstract paintings of Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, Malevich and Kandinsky.
The works detailed in this book are mostly constrained to company logos and advertising banners. However, these were advocated by Stankowski as demonstrating a field of pictorial creation that requires collaboration with free artists and scientists. Consequently, this is a historically significant art collection.”
