'Upon receipt of the book, I discovered a richness and vibrancy
that was somewhat unexpected, the book encapsulating a life's work
in large-scale full-colour images from start to finish, with strong
and engaging texts. … Maybe it is simply because much of the work
in this book is previously unpublished that it feels more
expressive and exciting. … this monograph is a very thorough and
extremely well-researched portfolio. … For many of you who feel
that you are aware of much of his design output, there may be a
surprise in store when studying this volume … For those who do not
know of Max Huber, now is the time to acquaint yourselves with one
of the more significant designers of the twentieth century.'
Grafik
'I believe in judging a book by its cover. Especially when the book
in question is about one of the great graphic designers of our age.
Phaidon can only take credit for selecting this particular image,
but what an image. … it gives an instant insight into the work of a
brilliant man. His trademark device of overlaying a vibrant array
of colours to dramatic effect completely dominates this cover in
such a way that you just have to see more. So inside we go … If you
haven't heard of Huber you will almost certainly recognise some of
the more famous work included here, and as the pages turn you will
wish you had discovered him before. The best compliment I can pay
this book is that it truly lives up to its cover, and, I can
guarantee, it will have you hooked.'
