Reading Response 4B – KR

Typography and photography play a big role in the new art. Combining both of them is a big change for art. This type of art is called Tophet. Invented in a Bauhaus school by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, this was a big innovation in art. Images and words in the same place help people understand the art that they are looking at more and it helps them appreciate it. This can create powerful images, therefore political cartoons are powerful because they combine both words and images to explain an event that is happening in the world.

Herbert Bayer said that typography is a service art, but what does this really mean?. Since anyone can use any form of typography, then that makes it a service art. Because of that, typography cannot be a form of fine art because everyone can use it. Herbert also said that one way that the revitalization of typography will come with the creation of a new alphabet. Although it might revolutionize because it is something different for everyone, the creation of a new alphabet will change how we have done things. This would make typography worse instead of making it a fine art and people would not like it.

    This is good too: “Herbert Bayer said that typography is a service art, but what does this really mean?.”
    or
    If “typography cannot be a form of fine art because everyone can use it.” state why.
    or
    the creation of a new alphabet will change how we have done things.

    You could pick any of these statements and elaborate.
