 - twen [1959–1971]
A spectacular insight into the work of art director Willy Fleckhaus for the German magazine twen, which in the 1960s was arguably the world's most influential magazine in terms of visual daring and graphic innovation, and remains an essential reference for many contemporary practitioners.
Between 1959 and 1971, German magazine twen provided an unavoidable reference point, in terms of editorial expression and visual approach, for many international designers. Half a century later, the groundbreaking, arresting, virtuoso work of its art director Willy Fleckhaus (1925-1983) still exerts a powerful influence on contemporary practice. This book presents twen's exceptional visual legacy through more than 300 rigorously selected and carefully sequenced pictures. These are accompanied by original texts from Hans-Michael Koetzle, Serge Ricco and Stéphane Darricau.
