–– ABSOLUT NYSKICK, oläst! – (Obet. kantmärken på omslaget.) – Stort format, ca 21x28 cm. – Se fler bilder! –– Examines the emergence of abstract organic forms and their assimilation into the popular arts and culture of American life from 1940–1960, covering advertising, decorative arts, commercial design, and the fine arts. / "Although this book was published as a companion to a museum exhibition, it is one of the few volumes available on the important subject of post-WWII art and design in America. There are many books to be found about individual artists and designers of the period, but hardly any cover the era from as broad a perspective as this one. This is quite an oversight considering that the art and design that emerged during this time succeeded in putting America at the forefront of the art world for the first time in history.
• Among the iconic artists, designers and other innovators you will find in the book are Raymond Loewy, Ray & Charles Eames, Isamu Noguchi, Russell Wright, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem De Kooning, Georgia O'Keeffe, Earl Tupper and Morris Lapidus; and the book is heavily illustrated with their unforgettably influential imagery: Eames chairs, Noguchi coffee tables, the Formica boomerang pattern, the Fontainebleau Hotel, Russell Wright and Eva Zeisel tableware, Jack Lenor Larsen fabrics, the Cadillac Biarritz, the Predicta television, hula hoops and kidney-shaped swimming pools.
• It a fun and highly informative book about the ever-fascinating art and design of one of the most important periods in the whole of American art history." –– GLÖM INTE ATT TITTA PÅ ALLA MINA ANDRA BÖCKER! –– Samma fraktpris oavsett hur många böcker du beställer! (Gäller inom Sverige)
