The pioneer of swiss graphic design, Josef Müller-Brockmann changed the face of the graphics industry and inspired a generation. Born in 1914, he studied architecture, design and history of art and in 1936 opened his own studio in Zurich, specialising in graphics, exhibition design and photography. Müller-Brockmann was a true master and rare pioneer of his craft, and even after his death in 1996, his work still sets a benchmark for others in his profession.
