Vojtech Preissig

Vojtech Preissig’s work spans a wide range of graphic processes and styles. It can best be seen as an evolution beginning with the Art Nouveau “fin de siecle” style of Alfons Mucha and culminating in the bold Czech Modernist abstraction of the 1930s. His type and book designs helped define the Czech graphic arts identity of the early 20th Century. Preissig studied various graphic techniques in Paris and thereafter established a studio in Prague dedicated to all aspects of Book Arts.
