Biography
HC Ericson is unique. As a graphic designer, art director, writer, photographer, educationalist and artist, he has produced an impressive and inspiring range of graphic and artistic productions during the 40 years of his career. In his own books and exhibitions, words and shapes have merged into an inseparable and beautiful combination, combining a child’s experimental curiosity with the hand of the master.”
Jury’s motivation, Berling Prize 2001.
“Measured by the number of letters, Ordbilder (1991) is probably one of the shortest autobiographies ever written. But possibly also one of the most closely-knit and tersely written stories of childhood in post-war Sweden.”
Carin Ståhlberg, Dagens Nyheter
“Ordbilder is an important lyrical production. One hardly even needs to mention its pioneering visual design.” Ingamaj Beck, Aftonbladet Isoleringslager (1994): “This time, the story is even more closely written. It pecks and pulls, it pulses like ‘pins and needles’. It is about existence, cramp, creativity, pain, and it touches the innermost wounds which never really heal, and which other people cannot discern behind your social control. It is, quite simple, a unique and horrifyingly good book.
Gösta Flemming, Fotografisk Tidskrift
We are also happy to present HC Ericson as the architect behind designonline.se profile. The profile is based on the idea of a line and the word design and the font is the old Futura with a few minor alterations.
