During
the Weimar period, there was a great expansion of book production in
Berlin. From 1920 to 1927, about three hundred new publishing houses
emerged, many of them eager to print books that experimented with the
latest advances in art and design. Drawing inspiration from Dada,
Expressionism, Constructivism, and the Bauhaus, cover artists
produced work that remains startling in its vision and creativity:
the use of sans-serif typefaces, photomontage, and aggressive imagery
makes a lot of these designs incredibly lively.
