EMIL RUDER (1914-1970) UNGEGENSTÄNDLICHE PHOTOGRAPHIE. 1960. 49 3/4x34 3/4 inches, 126 1/2x88 1/4 cm. Buchdruckerei VSK, [Basel.] Condition B+: staining from glue in left image and across central image where sheets are adjoined; creases in margins and image; pin holes in corners. Two-sheets. Paper. Ruder was first and foremost a typographer, in which role he both designed and taught, often working together with Armin Hoffmann. From 1965-1970 he was the director of Kunstgewerbe Museum in Basel. A major proponent of the "Swiss Style," he advocated for typography to be clear, concise and to "convey information in writing," which he did via a rational approach by employing sans-serif typography within grids and symmetrical layouts. His writings and teaching went on to influence not only Swiss designers but international designers as well. Swiss Graphic Design p. 219.
