Ladislav Sutnar’s official website

The best way to characterize Sutnar is to say that he was a pioneer, for he did pave way for new thinking and creativity, boldly trying things that today’s generations consider quite natural. His versatile talent made him part of a whole group of modern European designers and architects who strove to bring quality in ordinary life.

The scope of his creative and organizational activities is astounding. Inspired by the Bauhaus school, he lent truly modern design to articles of eneryday use, publications, toys, architecture and exhibition installations, advanced porfessional schooling in graphics to the highest levels of the petiod and influenced in a major way the lifestyle of prewar Czechoslovakia’s burgeoning middle classes.

When following 1939 he remained in the U.S., he asumed a prominent posotion aming its Euro-American avant-garde. Thinking about the future brought him to formulate the essentials of information design by which he in advance helped shape today’s 21st century world, and laid the grounds of modern visual communication in marketing, advertising and even enviromental protection. Like his design, geometrically precise, optially intriguing and at the same time highly imaginative are also his large nudes which he painted in the 60′s and 70′s, calling them “joy-art”. The first-ever retrospective exhibition if Suntar’s oeuvre covering both his Czech and Americal periods shows that the vibrant and thought-provoking work of this artist of a global importance is yet to be fully recognized.

In designing website, decoration is totally useless. sometimes it hinder the communication between user and information. Information is not a object. it’s a kind of organ that breathe. sometimes he communicate with us, as monkeys in the zoo laugh at us and try to hold our hands. over-drived decorations are same as barbed-wire which is setted between you and living information.
I think so. that’s why I love site designed in this way.
