| Summary |
Modernism: Designing a New World explores Modernism in the designed world from an international perspective, and across all the arts - inlcuding architecture, art, design, fashion and film. Containing contributions from leading experts and over 400 dramatically illustrated objects, it provides a fundamental reassessment of the idea of Modernism and a clear definition of this widely used byt rarely defined term. |
