Herbert was a pioneer of modernism and also student of the early Bauhaus. His work is still an inspiration for the students in Weimar as well as for many graphic designers of the present and the future. In the current project of our graphic design class called Fläche, Linie, Wort und Rhythmus students often research Herbert’s work and his achievements. You can find more detailed information about him in these two books:
