Bruno Munari: Square, Circle, Triangle

In the early 1960s Italian design legend Bruno Munari published his visual case studies on shapes: Circle, Square, and, a decade later, Triangle. Using examples from ancient Greece and Egypt, as well as works by Buckminster Fuller, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto, Munari invests the three shapes with specific qualities: the circle relates to the divine, the square signifies safety and enclosure, and the triangle provides a key connective form for designers. One of the great designers of the twentieth century, Munari contributed to the fields of painting, sculpture, design, and photography while teaching throughout his seventy-year career. After World War II he began to focus on book design, creating children's books known for their simplicity and playfulness.Author: Bruno MunariPublisher: Princeton Architectural PressPublished: 01/05/2016Pages: 288Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 1.20lbsSize: 6.10h x 6.10w x 0.80dISBN13: 9781616894122ISBN10: 1616894121BISAC Categories:- Design | Graphic Arts | Illustration- Art | GeneralAbout the AuthorBruno Munari was one of the greatest graphic designers of the twentieth century.
