Typeface design



I'm still working on my own typeface, I added some free modifications to some of the letters, and creating deliberate alternations of the "Aldine" typeface.

Typeface design


I'm currently working on my own typeface, which will be a edited version of Adobe Caslon Pro but with more straightened edges and slightly some more breathing space as for the "holes" and gaps in the letters.
It only a first shot so..

Willy Kessels






Impressive Modernistic images from Willy Kessels ( Dendermonde 1898-1974)

These somewhat strange nudes, illustrate the modernistic idea of artist that wanted to introduce a new tradition in art's history





These are some of his other works, more abstract images, unfortunatly I couldn't find that much info on Willy Kessels' work.

Raoul Hausmann




Every time i look back to paintings, or pictures from Dada I regret I wasn't there when it all happened and regret that it could only last such a short period of time. Swiss writer/painter/photographer Raoul Haussmann is probably the keyfigure in the dada story.
From the 1920's until The 1940's (main works) he makes pieces that translate his will to change the emotional state of mind to a mechanical state. But the real idea of dada was in fact an idea of dynamics, and wanting to keep changing things, just like they wanted to do with art, changing the idea of art by making art, without calling it art.


Art is dead. Long live Dada.'
—Walter Serner

August Sander

August Sander was a German photographer born in 1876 and introduced to photography as an assistant photographer in a mining company, which later allowed him to buy his own equipement.
He is most known for his portraits he made during the Nazi regime starting around 1920's.
His series called: People of the 20th century can be seen as a documentary of all types of people during the Weimar Republic in Germany.
The series is divided into seven sections: The Farmer, The Skilled Tradesman, Woman, Classes and Professions, The Artists, The City, and The Last People (homeless persons, veterans, ...). By 1945, Sander's archive included over 40,000 images.
