«El arte como oficio» is the essay on design and creativity by Bruno Munari, published by Edit. Labor Sa in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Bruno Munari dismantles the myth of the artist as an inspired genius and proposes instead the figure of the designer, someone who works with observation, experimentation, and handling of materials. With drawings and visual examples, he covers design specialties such as visual, industrial, graphic, and research design.
«El arte como oficio» was originally published in Italian as «Arte come mestiere» in 1966; the Spanish edition is from 1992.
Aimed at artists, designers, and students who want to understand design as a learnable craft.
Bruno Munari was "one of the greatest actors of 20th-century art, design and graphics". He was an Italian artist, designer, and inventor who contributed fundamentals to many fields of visual arts in modernism, futurism, and concrete art, and in non-visual arts with his research on games, didactic method, movement, tactile learning, kinesthetic learning, and creativity. On the utility of art, Munari once said, "Art shall not be separated from life: things that are good to look at, and bad to be used, should not exist".
