Paul Shuitema Netherlands. 37.5 x 22.5 inches Drukkerij Mouton, Netherlands Condition A. A pioneer in modernistic graphic design, Shuitema also worked as a photographer, filmmaker, and furniture designer. After WWI, his first major client was Berkel Scales for whom he designed a complete graphic line. Later on, he also did work for Philips and the Dutch Post Office. A teacher at the Royal Academyin Den Hag, Shuitema's virtuosity at photomontage, New Typography, and graphic design tricks such as overprinting, influenced the next generation of Dutch designers. This image, for a one man show of his work at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, is both very colorful and very modern, with a letter S being overlaid by bright, translucent blocks of color, very clearly indicating Shuitema's mastery of typography and color printing.
