It seems almost like a fairy tale, a group of Vienna Secessionists around 1900 developed a revolutionary graphic modernism that would change the potential of design and lettering. The art movement was documented from 1902—1911 in the periodical, Die Fläche (The Surface), and now, the Letterform Archive in San Francisco has published this facsimile edition of Die Fläche, recreating every page with new contextualizing essays. With designs by Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, and Alfred Roller, this is an unprecedented collection, a mighty tome on the power of design.
