"A minimalist design vocabulary is currently being reinvented by a troop of young graphic designers who are rediscovering the stylistic elements reminiscent of classic graphic design such as silkscreen printing, classical typography, hand lettering, woodcutting and folk art and integrating them into their work. [book title] documents this extraordinary renaissance of Classic Modernism, from the 1940s to 1960s, in contemporary graphic design."--Back cover.
