Design 1935-1965: What Modern Was Edited by Martin Eidelberg (Book)
About the Item
This book offers a unique perspective on the decorative arts of the mid-twentieth century. The first serious book on a period just beginning to be researched by scholars and little know to collectors, it focuses on 200 of the finest objects from the most important designers and artists of the time. Together with some 300 comparative illustrations, these works create a rich and surprisingly diversified image of the design that today we call Modern.
No overview of this period would be complete without the giants of modern design, whether early - Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer, Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen - or later- Ettore Sottsass, Mario Bellini, Peter Voulkos, and Sheila Hicks. Indeed, they are all represented, as are the seminal objects - Russel Wright's American Modern dinnerware, Hans Wegner's Round chair, Isamu Nogucji's Japanese-inspired lamps, Tapio Wirkkala's Kanttarelli vases, Verner Panton's plastic chair, Maija Isola's Marimekko fabrics. The selections are evenly balanced between industrial design and crafts. Hardback. Text in English. 424 pages. 2220 grams.

Bacon Moore: Flash and Bone by Richard Calvocoressi & Martin Harrison (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
In their different mediums, Henry Moore (1898 1986) and Francis Bacon (1909 1992) created unforgettable images of the human figure. The distinctive visual languages that each artist developed over more than half a century were marked by a growing simplicity and monumentality of form. Their perspective differed: Moore clung to a belief in humanism, while Bacon espoused a post-humanist, nihilistic view of the world. In expressing their visions of humanity, the two artists had very different approaches: Bacon working from the outside in, disintegrating and dissolving form; Moore from the inside out, pushing anatomical structure to the surface. If Bacon s images suggest flux, chance, and the arbitrariness of existence, Moore s...
