Author: Istelrova, Clara
Clara Istlerová (born 1944) was one of few female designers in the male-dominated field of Czech typography. Offering a vivid portrayal of an era where design was a tangible, labour-intensive endeavour, 'A Life Among Letters' unveils the artistic landscape of former Czechoslovakia through the lens of a trailblazing designer. It features an intimate interview with Istlerová by Anežka Minaríková, accompanied by work from Istlerová’s personal archive and a description of her creative process.Istlerová was born into an artistic family, she then studied under František Muzika at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Working entirely in analogue processes, she created the design for one of the most influential books on Czech architecture, 'Švácha, Rostislav: From Modernity to Functionalism' (1985).
