The Art Tamer
Marie Lusa is a veritable all-rounder. She works as a photographer, art director and graphic artist. For over nine years, the Jura-born artist has been based in Zurich, where she has made a name for herself as an exceptional designer with a reputation for quality and innovation. The reason for this may be found in an unbridled passion for her work, which, as she says herself, is exactly what makes her get up every morning looking forward to the new day. For her, each new book that she designs means delving into a new and unfamiliar world – and it is this challenge that is her greatest driving force.
The books bear eloquent witness to Lusa's willingness to learn something new from each artist, motif or theme. Art books in particular have inspired some of her finest productions, several of which have become almost instant classics. At the same time, Lusa manages to keep the balance between doing justice to the artists' work and adding her own distinctive touch, be it the edition of a collection or a monographic study. Through her creative approach, Lusa places the artworks in a new context. Because she has no qualms about expressing her own subjective interpretation of them, she offers us new ways of looking.
Lusa has honed her remarkable talent for cover design. Sometimes the titles seem to leap out from the bookshelves or catch the eye with their irresistible colours and innovative materials.
Not only outside, but inside as well, between the covers of her books, anyone anticipating a conventional juxtaposition of text and image will be happily disenchanted. Seemingly chaotic stretches of illustrations alternate with clear-cut, minimally designed pages. In short, Marie Lusa's publications are as dynamic as they are inspiring.
