Let's Talk about Sex

Bright, bold pictograms distill male and female experience

Imagine a setting in which a man wearing a dress might be as habitual as a woman in trousers. Where a woman exposing herself in public wasn’t sexy, but as creepy as a male flasher. Where professional status and success presented the same prospects for both sexes.

In this volume in her series for TASCHEN, leading graphic designer Yang Liu tackles one of the hottest, and one of the oldest, topics of all: he and she. Drawing on the experiences, challenges, and many perspectives on men and women she has encountered in her own life, Yang Liu distills the vast, swirling question of gender into bold, binary pictograms.

Dealing with a whole host of situations from the bedroom to the boardroom, Yang Liu’s designs are as simple and accessible in their presentation as they are infinite in the associations, evocations, and responses they elicit. Combining age-old stereotypes with topical discrepancies, this fresh approach to the roles and relationships of men and women is, above all, an effort to synthesize a notoriously thorny issue into a fun and refreshing graphic form, and thus to lighten and enlighten our mutual understanding and tolerance.

Estereotipos visto desde el minimalismo

Sergio,October 29, 2021
Sencilla, divertida, a veces ácida y a veces errónea, pero disfrutable. Estereotipos visto desde el minimalismo y el buen gusto estético.

Très drôle !

Cet ouvrage est très drôle. Le graphisme est réussi. Il est dommage que le nombre de pages soit assez limité.
