内容説明

This book is part of a series which sets out to provide a forum for the work that is developing internationally in the field of design and material culture. Placing everyday, mass-produced objects and decorative arts in their cultural, artistic and historical context, the series presents new sources and approaches to this subject in a concise form. "Quotations on Design and Material Culture" presents a collection of comments or statements by a wide range of famous, infamous and previously little-known critics, commentators and practitioners on the visual arts and design in particular. It covers design from 1760 to the 1990s and brings together a wide variety of commentators including: Josiah Wedgwood, William Morris, Le Corbusier, Adolf Hitler, Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ruskin, Germaine Greer, Tom Wolfe, Terence Conran, Judy Chicago, Edward Said, Charles Jencks, Deyan Sudjic and Prince Charles. Organized around the themes of ornament, political and social reform, technology, craft or the handmade, the home, national identity and race, Modernism, and aesthetics, and with a clear introduction to each, setting out the main areas of the debates, this book is designed as a primary sourcebook in any discussion of current issues and debates in the visual arts.
