Wolfgang Weingart

Through researching Joseph Muller-Brockmann I fortunately came across another Swiss designer Wolfgang Weingart, and in particular his series of lithographs on typographic process. Immediately I was drawn to these black & white pieces that had such a clean technical aesthetic to them.

"Wolfgang Weingart, born in 1941, was trained as a lead-typesetter. Since 1968 he has taught typography at the Basle School of Design/Switzerland. In the past several years he has also conducted typography workshops at the Yale University Summer Program in Graphic Design/Brissago, Switzerland. His teaching has focused on conventional and photographic experiments with typography.His work has appeared in international design journals and he has received awards from the Swiss Government for his posters and book cover designs. Weingart is a self-taught designer and educator. He is a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI)."
