Herbert W. Franke Reissues Computer Graphics, Computer Art

Originally published in 1971, this updated edition of the book reaffirmed its enduring relevance by including nearly fifteen more years of history. Franke’s work has been instrumental in introducing computer-generated art to a broader audience, and the re-release solidified his position as a pioneering figure in the field. The book highlights the history, methods and theoretical foundations of computer art as a movement, as only Franke could. Thus, the reissue not only served as a historical record of the early days of computer art but also underscored the ongoing evolution of the practice.
