Modernity of Tradition: Graphic Design in Slovakia after 1918
Interesting piece on Typotheque’s blog about a recently published book of post-WW1 Slovak graphic design entitled Modernosť tradície: Úžitková grafika na Slovensku po roku 1918 (Slovart), written by Professor Ľubomír Longauer of Bratislava Academy of Fine Arts and featuring his collection of thousands of examples of Slovak design. While Czech design has enjoyed a relatively high profile in recent times, that of Slovakia has been somewhat neglected; it is to be hoped that the present volume, the first in a planned series, and a mooted museum of graphic design may help to redress the balance.
