Herbert Matter (1907–1984) is a leading figure in 20th-century graphic design. Born in Switzerland and educated in Geneva and Paris, he lived in the United States from 1936, where he had a distinguished career as a designer, photographer, and educator. He created iconic posters, developed editorial designs for major magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and collaborated with great artists of his time, including Le Corbusier, Alberto Giacometti, and Alexander Calder.Herbert Matter: Visual Sensation fills a gap. Unlike earlier books on Matter, this monograph comprehensively covers his entire career and the full range of his multifaceted work. It is heavily illustrated with some 600 colour images of his works in all genres, sketches, and references—many of which have never been published before, and others featured in colour for the first time. It reveals the expanse of Matter’s creativity that goes far beyond his famous poster designs, highlighting in particular his photographic and cinematic work as well as his significance as an educator. And it offers a nuanced discourse on Matter’s visual art by connecting with the cultural spheres of Switzerland, France, and America that shaped his personality.

In the small world of Swiss graphic design, prizes such as the Swiss Design Awards (SDA) are followed closely. The winners' works are admired, envied and emulated. The generous prize money allows designers to launch their careers and focus on lesser paid but critically recognised work. Awards thus play the role of bellwethers of the scene. However, criticisms inevitably arise. Speaking in hushed tones, designers speculate as to why a colleague won over another. Rumours have it that jury members favour their inner circles and exclude competitors. Analysing this universe in detail, Jonas Berthod retraces the recent history of the SDA and the emergence of a new design culture in Switzerland.
