Opis skrócony:

Against All Odds is a painstakingly reconstructed universe of graphic design - for everything from book covers, posters, flyers, packaging (did you know how pre-war condoms were wrapped?) and periodicals to postage stamps; it reviews all aspects of that bygone world's social, economic and cultural life: from the works of the leftist propagandists to the advertising used by various trades and industries ("Sugar fortifies"!) and on to such amazing curiosities as the photomontage book cover for poems by Polish fascists.

Against All Odds is a painstakingly reconstructed universe of graphic design - for everything from book covers, posters, flyers, packaging (did you know how pre-war condoms were wrapped?) and periodicals to postage stamps; it reviews all aspects of that bygone world's social, economic and cultural life: from the works of the leftist propagandists to the advertising used by various trades and industries ("Sugar fortifies"!) and on to such amazing curiosities as the photomontage book cover for poems by Polish fascists. Against All Odds also provides an articulate guide to the main currents running through artistic design and documents the creation of the modern age: the experiments of the futurists and the achievements of functionalism and constructivism.

Today's designers will find here inspiration and proof that astonishing design solutions are not the sole province of the 21st century, art critics and historians will be provided with an exhaustive and competent reference source, and the foreign reader will discover a previously unknown and exotic body of creativity, while all readers will enjoy this fascinating, lively story of Poland's forgotten but colourful and diverse everyday life between 1919 and 1949.
