The exhibition features type design, typography, poster and postage stamps design of one of the most influentian Czech typographers, who celebrates this year his important life jubilee
Born 1939 in Jindřichův Hradec. Studied at the Art School in Prague (1954–1958) and at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (1959–1965); at the latter institution he taught from 1973 to 2003 (from 1987 head of the Studio of Book Graphics and Typography, from 1991 Professor). The focus of his work as a designer is on lettering, which to him is not only a means to express a verbal message, but also the most effective artistic-emotive element. His activities encompass graphic design, book graphics, posters, logotypes, graphics in architecture and stamp design. He designs typefaces and deals with them as a theorist as well. He is a member of the following vocational organizations: TDC New York, Double Crown Club, Cambridge, TypoDesignClub Prague. He was awarded approximately forty prizes for his typographic and graphic design works, both in his home country and abroad.
