American Design in the Twentieth Century
- Item #: DESN35
Gregory Votolato presents the intricate story of how design evolved as a profession and as a leisure activity reflecting the national traditions of self-improvement and self-expression. He demonstrates how design in the affluent culture of North America is as much about personalization of the material world as it is about the prerformance and appearance of manufactured goods. Over one hundred illustrations provide a unique view of how design functioned in the everyday lives of Americans throughout the century.
