|  | Paul Klee by Mike Venezia
An excellent introduction to celebrated artists and their work. Full-color reproductions of the actual paintings are enhanced by Venezia`s clever illustrations and story line. Young readers will look at the different paintings and see how the artists` style changed over the years. More important, the reader can enjoy a light, yet realistic overview of the life of each artist. Klee thought it was important to give the person looking at one of his paintings a feeling you couldn`t get from an ordinary painting. AUTHOR: Mike Venezia

While the extraordinary achievements of Dutch graphic design in the twentieth century have long been recognized, this book is the first comprehensive account of the development of graphic design in the Netherlands, from its beginnings in 1890 to the present.

Wijdeveld, to name but a few. Their work is discussed in the context of such themes as the decorated book, the Wendingen magazines, Dadaism, De Stijl, pictographs, the underground press of the occupation years, the fifty best books, corporate design, and current trends.
