Piet Zwart’s design for an advertisement, Annonce NKF N.V. Nederlandsche Kabelfabriek, Delft 1924.
Piet Zwart’s post card advertisement for the Laga Co., Vioerenfabrikant, Vickers House, Dan Haag, 1924.
Once again, one of my Flickr friends helped with translation. Thank you so much it is aai! for catching the typo.
A Dutch film periodical cover designed by Piet Zwart 1932.
A Dutch film periodical cover designed by Piet Zwart 1931.
A Dutch film periodical cover designed by Piet Zwart 1931.
A Piet Zwart advertisement for a construction company used as the cover for de 8 Opbouw.
A double page layout for a catalog designed by Piet Zwart 1926. One of my favorite Zwart designs.
Design for a printing company by Piet Zwart 1930.
DaDa truly influenced this and this direction truly influenced how we see layout today. It was practically unheard of to use this type of visual in the time period just after WWI.
A book jacket for a series of monographs on films designed by Piet Zwart 1931.
An advertisement designed by Piet Zwart 1930.
A brochure for air-mail designed by Piet Zwart about 1930.
He took typography out of the nineteenth century and created design in keeping with the DaDa, DeStijl and Futurist movements, and the new industrial age of Europe. He was truly a pioneer of contemporary graphics.
I may be wrong but I think that this is a title page for a type specimen book designed by Piet Zwart 1930. I also think that he did most of his own photography.
I think this is the title page of a brochure for broadcasting station Scheveningen designed by Piet Zwart 1928.
Poster for Netherlands PTT, designed by Piet Zwart 1934.
I’m not sure about this. I know that it was designed by Piet Zwart 1925, but I just don’t know what it is.
Advertisement designed by Piet Zwart 1929. This layout reminds me of a George Rickey sculpture.
Once again I am indebted to leonbuijs for the translation on the German work that I thought was Dutch. Thank you leonbuijs for catching my errors.
Catalog cover designed by Piet Zwart 1926.
Piet Zwart was never a member of De Stijl as far as I know, although he knew and respected the people involved in the De Stijl movement. He went his own way, which was an application of his ideas and principles in the very commercial, tough, working world of advertising art.
Film poster designed by Piet Zwart 1928. That’s a long time ago, the same year that both Wim Crouwel and I were born.
I have to be careful that I don’t put too many Piet Zwart graphics on here, but I dearly love his work.
