About Treatise on Painting Book

Treatise on Painting is a book that presents graphic works by the Russian artist Anatoly Zverev. The publication draws on the collection of the AZ Museum and a private archive. The design is based on the idea of a two-part book under one cover. One part reproduces the treatise, while the other is conceived as an art object. An author's font recalls the original source, and the artist's graphics guided the typographic choices. Minimalistic infographic elements give the layout a modern character. The book is dedicated to a collector who gathered and promoted the artist's work.

Design Details

Unique Properties
The publication uses graphic works by the great Russian artist A. Zverev from the collection of the AZ Museum and the archive of D. Apazidiv. This treatise is dedicated to G. Costakis, a collector and donor, a man who collected and promoted the works of Anatoly Zverev. The project idea was based on the idea of creating a two-part book under one cover.
Inspiration
Zverev is metaphorical, laconic, plays with words as masterly as he handles a brush - many of his poetic lines are instantly etched in the memory, and his treatises surprise with the depth and paradox of his thoughts.
Realization and Technology
The use of the author's font refers us to the original source. Minimalistic infographic techniques give the design a modern spirit.
Keywords
treatise, book design, artwork, collection, unique, complex design
