Bruno Munari

 is an Italian artist, at first glance his work looks very inventive and intriguing, its a mixture of photography, typography, illustration and a little fine art. its simple and clean. He works using a lot of shapes and colour.
Munari begins:
”Today it has become necessary to demolish the myth of the ‘star’ artist who only produces masterpieces for a small group of ultra-intelligent people. It must be understood that as long as art stands aside from the problems of life it will only interest a very few people. Culture today is becoming a mass affair, and the artist must step down from his pedestal and be prepared to make a sign for a butcher’s shop. The artist must cast off the last rags of romanticism and become active as a man among men, well up in present-day techniques, materials and working methods. Without losing his innate aesthetic sense he must be able to respond with humility and competence to the demands his neighbors may make of him”. 
He using a lot of fonts and his work is quite animated and structured, i find it very interesting.
