Summary:
In May 1968, thousands of workers and students took to the streets of Paris, provoking an unprecedented wave of strikes, walkouts and demonstrations. The confrontations between police and protesters led to a general strike of eleven million workers that brought the country to a virtual standstill and nearly toppled Charles de Gaulle's government. The faculty and student body of the Ecole des Beaux Arts were among the strikers, and a number of the students met spontaneously in the college's lithographic department to produce the first poster of the revolt. From this initiative was born the Atelier Populaire, a collective of print shops that produced hundreds of posters to encourage the protestors and to report on police brutality. These posters included many of the often Situationist-inspired mottos for which May '68 is remembered today, such as “Be young and shut up” and “return to normal” (accompanied by a picture of a herd of sheep). Beauty Is in the Street reproduces more than 200 of these posters in full color, which have since become landmarks in political art and graphic design.

Summary:
Josef Müller-Brockmann's graphics left a lasting mark on Swiss visual communication from the 1950s onward. His posters demonstrate how a sober, formally reduced language works best for conveying a universal, timeless message. Poster campaigns for longtime clients such as the Tonhalle concert hall in Zürich or the Automobile Club of Switzerland follow strict functional criteria-and yet exhibit a variety of design solutions and exciting, dynamic compositions.

Summary:
Le livre est au centre de multiples débats. Le peuple suisse a refusé par référendum une réglementation de son prix. Les diffuseurs sont accusés par la Commission de la concurrence de pratiques cartellaires. La librairie indépendante est menacée par la vente en ligne. L'avènement du numérique bouleverse notre rapport au livre et aux contenus, et fait apparaître de nouveaux acteurs. Pour autant ce territoire situé au carrefour interculturel de l'Europe a aussi connu ses riches heures et de grandes entreprises éditoriales y ont vu le jour, qui ont essaimé largement au-delà de ses frontières. De ce monde en ébullition et souvent méconnu des lecteurs que nous sommes, de ses multiples enjeux aussi, François Vallotton dresse un portrait clair et vivant qui témoigne de la place intime et essentielle que le livre occupe dans la société.

Summary:
Le 15 mai 1968, un atelier d'affiches est créé au sein de l'École supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. Quelques jours plus tard, c'est au tour des occupants de l'école des Arts décoratifs de fonder le leur. Pendant plus d'un mois, des assemblées générales réunissent quotidiennement artistes, étudiants et travailleurs pour discuter des thèmes et des slogans des affiches qui sont produites sans interruption et diffusées bientôt dans la France entière. À travers la présentation chronologique de quelque deux cents créations – qui montre à quel point celles-ci ont su traduire les événements au jour le jour – et les témoignages de nombreux acteurs de l'époque, ce livre retrace l'aventure des ateliers, illustrée de rares photos sur leur fonctionnement, dont celles de Marc Riboud.
