Wolfgang Weingart is a key figure in late 20th century graphic design. He is credited with being the father of the 'new wave' or 'swiss punk' which broke the mould of classical Swiss typography - the style that had come to dominate international graphic design in the 60s and 70s. The playfully liberated chaos of this poster design demonstrates Weingart's radical stylistic innovations.
