I set strong rules for myself – and love the architecture of the Baroque.
I fundamentally think rationally – but love the strange and the absurd.
I love wit – but hate people’s grin.
I appreciate clarity and transparency – but publish a book under a pseudonym.
I often approach typography like a concrete painting – and propagate the deconstruction of the rule.
I can’t imagine typography without keeping an eye on art and architecture.
Hans Rudolf Bosshard was born on January 25, 1929. He has bee teaching at various schools. At the Zurich School of Art and Design, he has mastered the art of teaching. Since he was young he has inspired by Kandisky, Mondrian, Malevitch and practice to paint and draw in the different styles for many years.
Bosshard designs exhibit catalog, poster, magazine and books. Too bad that most of his book written in German and the only book written in English is The Typographic Grid. The book offers a collections of his typographic work including his explanation and constructive of his works. Bosshard also a member, editor and designer of Xylon, International magazine on woodcutting.
In 2010, I had a good opportunity to be part of featured Bosshard in NEWWORK MAGAZINE issue 5 under STUDIO NEWWORK.
