ruskin:Ever since this occasion, Niessen has kept pondering the ongoing mutation not to say deterioration of graphic design. To clarify his thoughts, he went back to one of the sources of the British Arts and Crafts movement and more generally of graphic design, John Ruskin’s 1849 work, The Seven Lamps of Architecture. The “Seven lamps” Sacrifice, Truth, Power, Beauty, Life, Memory and Obedience where supposed to light the way for 19th century architects. Was it possible to transfer and re-interpret in the context of contemporary graphic design? This is the question raised in the poster. |
