Jacques Richez
Jacques Richez (b. Dieppe, France, 1918, d. Brussels, 1994) studied at Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Mons, Belgium. After WW2, he started his own studio in Brussels where he mostly worked in advertising. He designed famous logos such as for Belgian Generale Bank (1965), Iris of Brussels (1991) and Expo 58. He became well-known for his poster and identity work for the 1958 Brussels Expo. In 1973 he was chosen as one of the 40 most original artists in experimental photography by Time-Life in their Photography Annual. Jacques Richez wrote Graphic Art Applied to Communication (1964) and Texts and Pretexts: 25 Years of Reflecting on Graphic Design (1980). In 1967 he became vice-president of Icograda and from 1972-76 of AGI (Alliance Graphique Internationale), where he preached ethics and professional integrity. In 1996, Johnny Bekaert designed the Bruxell typeface, which is modeled after a typeface reated by Jacques Richez, ca. 1957, for the Brussels World Exhibition of 1958. |
