Download or read book Landmarks of Twentieth-century Design written by Kathryn B. Hiesinger and published by Abbeville Kids. This book was released on 1993 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiesinger and Marcus (Phila. Museum of Art) have assembled 400 examples of industrial and graphic design, furniture, lighting, appliances, and decorative objects (100 photos in color). Arrangement is chronological. About half the average page is given to photos. Artifacts are related back and forward in time (direct cross-references would save index use). Good book. The title is accurate; landmarks does not suggest beauty (the 20th c. has produced myriad design horrors). Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
