#Das ABC Büchlein

[ideaswords]

Notebook Study of Rudolf Koch's lovely vital letters. Gouache and turkey quill. First attempt at these, plenty more to develop! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Koch (1876-1934) was a great master and teacher renowned for his humble and generous presence. His letters have no trace of pretentiousness, and while they are firmly rooted in the tradition of the great medieval and Renaissance masters, they are equally as well rich in a modern graphical impact, with the negative space as powerful, if not more so, as the mark. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ His long time colleague Fritz Kredel cut the woodblocks from which Das ABC Büchlein (the Little ABC Book) was originally printed. This edition is from David Godine, 1979.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ (Koch is perhaps best known today for the design of his typeface Neuland which has inspired thousands of calligraphic imitations the majority of which ignore the most important character of the letters, that they were designed by cutting away the negative spaces around the forms) ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #rudolfkoch⁣ #bertholdwolpe⁣ #fritzkredel ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #calligraphy⁣⁣⁣ #lettering⁣⁣⁣ #handlettering⁣⁣⁣ #italic⁣⁣⁣ #handwriting⁣⁣⁣ #Shodo⁣⁣⁣ #shufa⁣⁣⁣ #書法⁣⁣⁣ #書道 #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern⁣⁣⁣ #calligraphymasters⁣⁣⁣ #design (at Washburn, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_YkN3bDJS-/?igshid=1v7qn7i5xpoty

Wenn ich ehrlich bin, weiß ich nicht, ob ich schon zu viel oder noch zu wenig auf mein kleines Büchlein das „Abc der gelassenen Referendare“ hingewiesen habe. 😕 Da es aber nein erstes Büchlein ist und ich sich ein wenig stolz bin, freue ich mich natürlich über die bisherigen positiven Rezensionen. 🤩 Diese Übersicht hat Matthias Heil auf Twitter veröffentlicht. Fand ich ziemlich cool.
