The Visual Language of Herbert Matter

Always striking a balance between fine art projects and commercial work, the taciturn designer found his own unique language. Never before seen footage and photographs bring to focus the extraordinary life and seminal work of the Swiss-born graphic designer, photographer and visual artist whose genius pioneered the use of photo-montage with type. Luminaries such as Robert Frank, Massimo Vignelli, Alvin Eisenman, Steven Heller, among many, give tribute and explain why Herbert Matter still matters.
