With a few circles, Armin Hofmann summarises 3000 years of amphitheatre and theatre architecture. He designed this brilliant poster for an exhibition on the history of theatre architecture in Zürich in 1955.
Armin Hofmann is considered a leading figure of the Basel School of Design, one of the most progressive Swiss design schools. Teaching at the Basel School of Design from 1946 to 1986, he was pivotal for the Swiss International Style. Hofmann is well-known for his use of black-and-white imagery and his simplification of forms. With this, he accomplished a uniquely expressive, graphic style.
