Decorative Art 1938 - "The Studio" Year Book
Decorative Art 1938 - "The Studio" Year Book
- Thirty-third Annual Issue
This book presents a comprehensive review of trends, directions
and controversies regarding architecture and the decorative arts.
In the period between the two World Wars designers and architects
sought to negotiate between the extremes of "function"
at all costs and "style" at all costs. There was also
the strongly felt need for individual expression. At the same
time the newly emerged field of industrial design began to stretch
the boundaries and definition of design. This book reads like
a Who's Who of architects, furniture designers, textile, glass,
pottery and metalware craftsmen. There are eight tipped-in color
plates and numerous black and white plates. C. G. Holme Publishers:
