Úžitková grafika na Slovensku po roku 1918 - 3.časť / Graphic Design in Slovakia after 1918 – Longauer Ľubomír (2020)

The third part of the series Applied Graphics in Slovakia after 1918. Mild Progress deals with the professionalization of applied graphics in Slovakia in the 1930s up to the establishment of the Slovak state. Alongside it, modernism was also asserting itself in the Slovak art scene. Its promoters were mainly teachers from the School of Applied Arts (ŠUR) in Bratislava, as well as its graduates associated with the magazine Slovenský typograf and working for the 'Central European advertising agency' Redopa (Vladimír Bahna, Juraj Stanko, Ľudovít Kudlák). This agency also employed the talented graduate of the School of Applied Arts in Budapest, Ladislav Csáder. Although he spent most of his life in Bratislava and his name is rather unknown to the wider public, he can rightly be considered a graphic designer, typographer, and photographer of European caliber due to his works. The largest part of the bilingual, richly illustrated publication, featuring hundreds of period works, most of which have not been published until now, is dedicated to his creations. The book is published in collaboration with the Slovak Design Center and VŠVU.
