His posters for the Tonhalle reveal an artist at work, as well as one who fathoms the world of communication, with a particular audience for a particular function. His posters are comfortable in the worlds of art and music. They do not try to imitate musical notation, but they evoke the very sounds of music by visual equivalents - not a simple task. - Excerpt from the Paul Rand's foreword for the book: "Joseph Müller-Brockmann, Pioneer of Swiss Graphic Design" -
