Karel Martens is a Dutch artist and graphic designer whose 36-year career is based on continuing the ideals of the modernist pioneers of the 1920s and 1930s. This book is a critical examination as well as a celebration of Martens's broad spectrum of work. Numerous illustrations of his designs are included, as are a year-by-year survey of his work and a list of all of his projects. Also in this volume are four critical essays and a text by Martens himself.
