Description:
This is a rare 1908 wedding program for famed German artist Paul Renner ( 1878 to 1956) who is best known as the designer of the typeface "Future". Renner was a central figure in the German artistic movements of the 1920s and 1930s, becoming an early and prominent member of the Deutscher Werkbund while creating his first book designs for various Munich-based publishers. As the author of numerous texts such as Typografie als Kunst (Typography as Art) and Die Kunst der Typographie (The Art of Typography) he created a new set of guidelines for balanced book design. Renner taught with Jan Tschichold in the 1930s and was a key participant in the heated ideological and artistic debates of that time. Arrested and dismissed from his post by the Nazis, he eventually emerged as a voice of experience and reason in the postwar years. Throughout this tumultuous period he produced a body of work of the highest distinction.
This program details Renner's marriage to Melanie Horlbeck on April 4th 1908. Super rare item from a great 19th and 20th century artist.
