Gerd Arntz

Gerd Arntz was a 20th-century German artist known for his skillful woodcut prints. A member of the Cologne Progressives—a group concerned not just with social and political issues, but also with the public’s ability to understand these concepts—Arntz sought to use his art as a method of delivering crucial information to the masses. Over the course of his life, he designed approximately 4,000 pictograms known as ISOTYPEs, or International System of Typographic Picture Education, a unique form of symbolized data from industries, politics, and economic phenomena intended for use by those who could not read.
