Perhaps the most important artist in the history of Italian graphic design, Armando Testa explored the most diverse languages of visual communication for over half a century, inventing new ways of expressing ideas and designing enormously innovative works for television. Armando Testa documents his activity from the beginning of his career to his last works, collecting many of his most important pieces in one volume. These include advertising posters, sketches, book illustrations and covers from the Fifties and Sixties, photographic advertising work from the Seventies, posters and trademarks created for social causes and cultural events during the Eighties, and work done outside these fields for personal, creative purposes from the Eighties until his death. This attractive and exciting new monograph also includes a detailed biography and bibliography, as well as an 'imageography' (a catalogue with commentary) of every one of Testa's amazing images.
