a bit of design history 1

When did the field of "graphic design" emerge?

in late 19th century Europe a movement began to separate graphic design from fine art. Dutchman and fine artist Pieter Cornelis Mondrian, AKA Piet Mondrian, is known as the father of graphic design. contributing to the De Stijl art movement/group he evolved a non-representational design form, which he termed Neo-Plasticism, consisting of a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the use of three primary colors.
