Anthon Beeke is one of the prolific designers in tThe Netherlands that shaped <br />the history of Dutch Design in the 20th century. This landmark book celebrates<br />his impressive body of work through the stories that define the different <br />aspects of Anthon Beeke's life in design, including Amsterdam, jazz, erotica, collecting, typography, photography, provocation and communication.<br /><br />One of the characteristics of his work is that Beeke has always tried to make <br />his work not look like graphic design. He gavegives the world outside of the <br />language of design a central place in his work and that probably is the reason <br />why his posters, for example, resonated so strongly with the public and still <br />do. His unique voice has always been and still is a true inspiration for younger<br />generations of graphic designers.<br /><br />The book includes contributions by Esther Cleven, Alston Purvis, Steve <br />Heller, Lidewij Edelkoort, Erwin Olaf, Marian Bantjes, James Victore, Erik <br />Kessels and others.<br /><br />'I don't know a single maker of images who thinks more freely and is more all-round than Anthon Beeke. As far as I am concerned, he is the freest <br />spirit in Dutch design history.'<br />-Erik Kessels-
