Take at look at Yee-Haw Industries fine art prints ... I love all of them.

Ed Ruscha
Filippo Marinetti
Piet Zwart
Jenny Holzer
El Lissitzky
Milton Glaser

...to name a few.

Wow, amazing response, they should keep me going. I obviously didn't look very hard. Out of curiosity does it have a specific name? Or does it just fall somewhere under graphic design?

Thanks very much.

Pete. :)

check out the work of Oded Ezer, very interesting stuff.
tybrids are some of his most recent work.

There is also the movement "Lettrisme", founded by Isidore Isou who passed away last month.

Marian Bantjes

Lloyd Schermer, sort off kitsch, but also quite nice.

Alan Kitching. Some of his work can be found here and here.

Check out Sister Corita Kent. Nun. Activist. Designer. Artist.

More examples of her work here:

Corita, yes!

After I had read an article in Eye magazine a few years ago I found a boxed set (book and portfolio of prints) from 1968 in an antiquarian book store (with a webshop) located in San Francisco. — Sometimes I think the internet was invented for things like this. — Anyway, the prints were in perfect condition and the printing was excellent. We now keep six prints framed in our kitchen.

I'm happy she once again attracts attention with the Come alive book.

Although I'm not sure this qualifies as typographical art per se I find some of Ben Shahns posters typographically inspiring.
Here's a classic; Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti.

Tatsuo Miyajima might be a good artist to look at.

john cage, his book "m" (letraset mesostics littered throughout). nobody will deny that he's an artist (as opposed to a mere designer).

Some of Stephanie DeArmond's stuff makes me a bit envious...

And Ronald Kurniawan's stuff is pretty great and crap at the same time...

Perhaps:
Mary Ellen Solt, "Flowers in Concrete"

Not concious but appealing because of that.

I removed my images. they were more 'typographic toys' than typographic art :-)

An interesting twist may be looking in to contemporay Iranian Graphic design and calligraphy art
Look on google (image or web search) for "Mohammad Ehsaie", www.5thcolor.com site as well as typogrsphy.ir.
My website www.farsitypography.com should be up in 2 weeks or so...

See attached iamges.
p.s.
I apologize for my large uploads!

I find Oded Ezer's Tybrid uncomfortably non-format / wire, despite how well it's produced.

Look at any current hipster magazine for type/lettering based art. Or Sister Corita Kent. She was featured in a ANP Quarterly 3 issues ago, and now has a monograph, if you need a visual reference. You can still back order the magazine. Marian Bantjes is effing amazing, look her up. Also checkout the blog fecalface.com

Or modern art from the Rauschenberg / Warhol era. Or Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger. Just do some research in a few art books and you are guaranteed to find something.

Good luck,

My senior art show at university was typographic in nature, but I chopped up the letterforms so much that they're really just images. In retrospect, I kind of think it was an inappropriate use of type, but anyway. Here is a record of it.

http://art.kidbritish.org/seniorshow/

9,000,000 wooden alphabet blocks (equal to the number of American children with no health insurance coverage in 2007.) and other visually engaging statistics.

Here's some of my own art: withrington.com which, is often inspired by type and sometimes inspires my type. And really, I wasn't looking for a shameless self-promoting plug but since it's on topic... ;^)
