The World Must Change - Graphic Design and Idealism: Graphic Design and Idealism

This book had a limited distribution and was never reprinted. Leonie ten Duis and Annelies Haase with essays by Henk Oosterling and Max BruinsmaIt tells the story of Dutch graphic design, showing how idealistic designers were motivated, from the time of modernism, by a commitment to visual communication as an agent of change. This history is prefaced by a philosophical analysis of idealism, and the main text ends by showing how the tradition of idealism appeared in 1999 to be coming to a close. Clad in a rough cardboard cover, the book projects the engaging visual values of a remarkably open graphic culture.
