(the in-production book) documents the main themes and ideas of contemporary design through the work and opinions of Cuban/Spanish designers Félix Beltrán and Pepe Cruz Novillo.
“At a time when the visual landscape encompasses a multitude of disunited approaches and styles — many of which trade on indulgent self-expression, nostalgia, and slick, complicated commercialism — the steadfast rigour of these two pioneering modernists holds renewed value for consideration.
The bold confidence of their work cuts through the clutter of ego and distracting professional concerns: It reminds us of the power of simplicity; of the narrative richness of geometry and abstract metaphor; and ultimately, of the joy of discovery.”
