Anton Stankowski (June 18, 1906 – December 11, 1998) was a German graphic designer, photographer and painter.
He developed an original Theory of Design and pioneered Constructive Graphic Art.
Typical Stankowski designs attempt to illustrate processes or behaviours rather than objects.
Such experiments resulted in the use of fractal-like structures long before their popularisation by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975.
