DESCRIPTION:
Beginning in 1906, the Decorative Art yearbook's first year of publication, Taschen's look at interior design from the first two decades of the 20th century gives us a look at the avant-garde work of designers such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Charles Voysey, and Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott.From Britain to Austria to the Americas, the Decorative Art yearbook served as a communicator of styles and ideas as the ""New Art"" movement began its rise. Published annually from 1906 until 1980, the yearbook was dedicated to the latest currents in architecture, interiors, furniture, lighting, glassware, textiles, metalware, and ceramics. This was a time when ""modern"" was truly a new concept, one that many designers had to fight for; the evolution of styles and ideas moved at afast pace, punctuated dramatically by the First World War, whose effects on society and architecture were vast. This volume faithfully reproduces the best examples from the yearbooks of the 1900s and 1910s, bringing you an excellent guide through the founding years of Modernism in decorative art.. So how can the rest of us have a look? Taschen, of course! Prese

Turn-of-the-Century Design: A Warped View John Arthur The remark that this book "traces this aesthetic revolutionand is a compleling guide through the founding years of Modernism" rings false after even a cursery examination.
