His\u00a0work was noticed in 1928 by Otto Neurath(1882-1945), a social scientist and founder of the Museum of Society and Economy in Vienna, Austria. Neurath had developed a method to communicate complex information on society, economy and politics in simple images. Arntz\u2019s clear-cut style suited Neurath\u2019s goals perfectly, and so he invited the young artists to come to Vienna in 1928, and work on further developing his method, later known as ISOTYPE, International System Of TYpographic Picture Education.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2687\" title=\"arntz_1\" src=\"http:\/\/ivetakrajcirova.com\/DeBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/arntz_1-500x372.jpg\" alt=\"arntz_1\" width=\"500\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/arntz_1-500x372.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/arntz_1-400x298.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/arntz_1.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2692\" title=\"arntz_2\" src=\"http:\/\/ivetakrajcirova.com\/DeBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/arntz_2-500x372.jpg\" alt=\"arntz_2\" width=\"500\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/arntz_2-500x372.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/arntz_2-400x298.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/arntz_2.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During his career, Arntz designed around 4000 different pictograms, abstracted illustrations\u00a0(signs, which symbolized keydata from industry, demographics, politics and economy) for ISOTYPE and also a collection of 100 visual statistics ( \u2018Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft\u2019), provided an overview of the essential empirical data of the world at that time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2689\" title=\"GMDH02_50020\" src=\"http:\/\/ivetakrajcirova.com\/DeBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/GMDH02_50020.jpg\" alt=\"GMDH02_50020\" width=\"230\" height=\"351\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2690\" title=\"GMDH02_50018\" src=\"http:\/\/ivetakrajcirova.com\/DeBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/GMDH02_50018.jpg\" alt=\"GMDH02_50018\" width=\"231\" height=\"351\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"onimage\"> Statistics: The world\u2019s religions &#038; the world\u2019s ethnicities(1930) <\/p>\n<p>The pictograms designed by Arntz were systematically employed, in combination with stylized maps and diagrams.
