‘Allner was a designer, typographer and painter who pioneered computer-designed magazine layout. He collaborated with engineers to develop technology-aided design. In the late 1920s he studied at the Dessau Bauhaus. His teachers included Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Joost Schmidt and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy.
During his 12 years at Fortune masgazine, in addition to maintaining the magazine’s Bauhaus-inspired contemporary typography and elegant overall design scheme, he personally created 79 covers, which ran the gamut from minimalist graphic abstraction to complex photographic collage. ...Allner also worked as an abstract painter (influenced by Josef Albers) and created enigmatic refuse-assemblages. ...’
