Book Description
Karel Martens is a renowned Dutch graphic designer known for his unique letterpress printing and abstract designs. Since graduating from the Arnhem Academy of Art and Design in the Netherlands in 1961, Martens has become a significant figure in modern design, celebrated for his innovation and experimental spirit.
Martens' work is distinguished by his exquisite craftsmanship and unique use of color and shapes. He excels in combining geometric figures with vibrant colors to create visually striking works. Additionally, his exploration and experimentation in letterpress printing have endowed his works with high artistic value and uniqueness.
Besides being a designer, Karel Martens is also a dedicated educator. He has taught numerous courses in the Netherlands and internationally, profoundly influencing new generations of designers. He is also a co-founder of Werkplaats Typografie, a highly regarded postgraduate design program in Arnhem.
Martens' works span book design, printmaking, and typography, and he frequently participates in international exhibitions, receiving multiple international awards. His creative philosophy emphasizes experimentation and creativity, encouraging designers to find a balance between tradition and innovation while exploring new visual expressions.
This artist’s publication contains a sequence of unique letterpress monoprints made by Dutch graphic designer Karel Martens between 2014 and 2022. The prints, which are both highly geometric and brightly colored, are reproduced in the book at their actual size. Textual elements accent the various abstract shapes and repetitions on almost every page. ‘Small Prints’ is available in two different cover versions, which itself is the result of a printing experiment. By printing the contents of the book in three layers on a single print sheet, which was then cut and folded, variations in the cover emerged.
