Alongside his close contemporary Josef Müller-Brockmann, Max Huber (Italian, born Switzerland. 1919–1992) was among the most significant Swiss designers to emerge after the Second World War. Between 1940 and 1941, Huber worked briefly at the renowned Studio Boggeri in Milan. From 1942, he exhibited with Allianz, a Swiss artist’s group dedicated to a strain of abstraction known as “Concrete Art,” together with artists including Max Bill, Richard Paul Lohse, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. We share with you today a selection of Huber’s graphic design work from the 1940s and 1950s.
