Between 1959 and 1971, the German magazine twen set a benchmark for many international designers in terms of both editorial expression and visual form. Half a century later, the originality, virtuosity and spectacular power of the layouts devised by its artistic director Willy Fleckhaus (1925-1983) continue to exert a lively influence on contemporary practice. This book, the first in French devoted to the subject, offers a panorama as rich as it is rigorously contextualized of a publishing adventure like no other. twen's exceptional graphic legacy is illustrated here by over 300 carefully selected, rigorously ordered images, accompanied by texts by Hans-Michael Koetzle, Serge Ricco and Stéphane Darricau.
