Alles Moet Nieuw - Piet Zwart plot
Piet Zwart (1885-1977), a stubborn and stubborn man who lived to innovate and who paved the way for the international successes of what is known today as Dutch Design. He worked as an interior designer, industrial designer, advertising typographer, photographer, critic and teacher and in all these capacities played an important role in the Dutch design climate of the twentieth century. Due to his versatility and his influence on current designers, the Professional Organization of Dutch Designers named him “Designer of the Century” in 2000. Piet Zwart is in our time, without any reservation, considered part of the international avant-garde. His work mirrors the work of now famous foreign colleagues, but is nevertheless authentic. He felt an affinity with the work of Theo van Doesburg (De Stijl) and with the constructivism of El Lissitzky, but also with the Dadaism of Kurt Schwitters.
