ABOUT ERNST ROCHE
Ernst Roch was a graphic designer born in Croatia in 1928. Before arriving in Canada in 1953, he spent time living and studying in Graz, Austria, where he was heavily influenced. From Visual Diplomacy USA, his training was based on: “functionalism, where a design challenge was first seen as a problem-solving process emphasizing rational thinking and formal clarity. It was this new and “International” graphic design, as it came to be known, which he pioneered in Canada.”
He produced the official poster for the Montreal 1976 Olympics. He lectured at the Art and Design School of the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts, Concordia University, McGill and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Ernst Roch is one of the standout Canadian graphic designers, that perhaps created the Canadian modernist sensibility that became so prevalent after his arrival to the country.
