SUMMARY:Breaking the Swiss Grid with Letterform Archive
DESCRIPTION:Poster House is excited to partner with Stephen Coles of Letterform Archive for an afternoon deconstructing the Swiss grid. What happens when designers break the rules of what typically constitutes good design? This wide-ranging talk will explore grid-breaking examples from Letterform Archive’s impressive collection\, including Emigre magazine\, the letter- and mind-bending posters of psychedelia\, and both antique and contemporary irregularly-shaped typesetting. \nStephen Coles is the Associate Curator and Editorial Director of Letterform Archive\, a San Francisco based nonprofit center for inspiration\, education\, publishing\, and community in graphic design. The Archive holds physical and digital artifacts in a variety of formats\, including books\, periodicals\, posters\, sketches\, original art for reproduction\, and related ephemera\, as well as a robust reference library. Stephen also publishes the websites Typographica and Fonts In Use. \nThis event is a collaborative effort between Letterform Archive and Poster House! We have loved working together and hope to again in the near future. Our efforts were shared\, and your donations will be also. All contributions from this event will be split evenly between Letterform and Poster House. By signing up for this program\, you agree to be added to Letterform Archive’s mailing list. \n This online event will be hosted on Zoom with attendees cameras off.

SUMMARY:Mucha at Poster House: Designs That Dazzled a New Age
DESCRIPTION:Join Angelina Lippert\, chief curator at Poster House\, for a virtual look at the work of one of the most significant artists in the form\, as seen in the recent exhibition Alphonse Mucha: Art Nouveau / Nouvelle Femme. \nMucha arrived in Paris in 1887\, living in relative poverty as an obscure illustrator. That changed in late 1894\, when he created his first poster for a play featuring the world’s most famous actress\, Sarah Bernhardt. The work captivated Paris\, launched his design career\, began a friendship and professional collaboration with Bernhardt\, and helped him become one of the most celebrated graphic designers of the Art Nouveau era. \nLippert covers Alphonse Mucha’s rise to fame\, his career as a commercial designer\, his unique artistic style\, and his profound influence on future poster designers. She also examines how his designs helped elevate women as they joined the budding 20th-century world with a new independence and social agency.
