This is the first monograph to be published in English on the highly influential French graphic designer Robert Massin (b. 1925), popularly known only as Massin. The book covers his extensive career, which encompasses book publishing, art direction and experimental typography, and also includes a chapter exploring the home and creative world of one of France’s most celebrated graphic artists. The book is richly illustrated to show Massin’s contributions to graphic design, tracing his projects through conception to final realisation, and has been written by the curator and journalist Laetitia Wolff.
Laetitia Wolff is a writer, curator, and design consultant, who has had unrivalled access to the Massin collection as well as the designer’s personal archives. Currently editorial director at Surface magazine, she is the author of the book series Design Focus (Gingko Press), and has also been involved with several graphic design exhibitions, including the first retrospective of the work of Massin at the Cooper Union Gallery, in New York (2002).
