Catherine Zask counts among France's major graphic artists. Her typographical culture posters are distinguished by unusual typeface handling. Their formal language seems exciting and alien, particularly to eyes accustomed to the Swiss graphic heritage. Zask was born in Paris in 1961. She imbues her letters with an authority that is usually only conferred on images. It can trigger movements or echoes, affect the spaces in between the letters, store images; but it always works to create an appropriate and comprehensible form for a statement. Her posters for the French society of multimedia artists, Scam, and for the Hippodrome theatre in Douai, confirm the coherence and elegance of an oeuvre that is being presented in Switzerland for the first time.
