Anthon Beeke is a towering figure in Dutch graphic design culture. His posters for major Dutch theatre companies and museums have graced and stirred the streets of Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands for decades.
He started out as a young rebel in the 1960s, thoroughly upsetting the prevalent Dutch design culture of stern modernism with his provocative images and personal style.
Since, Beeke has become the dean of Dutch poster makers and an internationally acclaimed designer of posters, books, magazines, exhibitions and identities.
This monograph follows his life’s work and analyses the themes which have fascinated and inspired Beeke throughout his career.
Whether he is interpreting a classic theatre play or designing an identity for a cultural institution, Anthon Beeke is a sophisticated aesthete who never forgets where life really takes place: on the street.
