French ‘Moderne’ exhibition in Reading’s Typography department

This exhibition – curated by Ann Pillar – actually closed on 30 May, but it was still there during the annual students’ final displays of work. I took a closer look during the University’s open day the following weekend and, though it won’t be possible for others to see it, I’d like to record that it was a fantastic exhibition. The material shown was superb: it included a really lovely visual for a typical 1920s airbrush-style poster and enough magazines, books and type samples to give an excellent feel of the era. The captions were top-notch, always giving a good insight and context to the exhibits. A really great small show.
