Summary:
The Cubist movement, which revolutionized the art world in the early twentieth century, was largely restricted to painting and sculpture in Western Europe. However, in Bohemia, Cubism achieved remarkable heights not only in painting and sculpture, but also in architecture and the applied arts. The startling work created by the Czech avant-garde of the early 1900s has rarely been seen outside of Eastern Europe. ''Czech cubism'' presents a collection of architecture, furniture, and decorative arts through more than 500 photographs and drawings. Essays by nine noted scholars provide historical and critical background for the work.

Summary:
The Pattern and Decoration movement emerged in the 1970s as an embrace of long-dismissed art forms associated with the decorative. Pioneering artists such as Miriam Schapiro, Joyce Kozloff, Robert Kushner, and others appropriated patterns, frequently from non-Western decorative arts, to produce intricate, often dizzying or gaudy designs in media ranging from painting, sculpture, and collage to ceramics, installation art, and performance. This book showcases works by more than 40 artists from across the United States, examining the movement’s defiant adoption of art forms traditionally viewed as feminine, craft-based, or otherwise inferior to fine art.

Summary:
In 1938, Vienna lost its best and most creative minds. This rupture was manifested in all of the arts and sciences and its mark is felt to this day – not least in the field of furniture design.

Summary:
This publication analyzes Lebanon’s unique situation—a convergence of economic and architectural reconstruction, social awareness and international development. It also testifies to the designers’ determination to take ownership of their destiny and image by presenting objects and forms that are simultaneously aware of their diverse heritage and are deeply rooted in a complex reality. Prior to the development of this exhibition and publication project, no extensive research has been undertaken on the history of design in Lebanon. This book aims to fill that gap, presenting the state of design based on extensive documentation. It is the first retrospective on design in Lebanon, from the 1920s until today, includes works by over 50 designers, uncovering this major design scene in the Middle-East.

Summary:
Après l'Art Nouveau et l'Art Déco, est fondée en 1929 l'U.A.M. (Union des Artistes modernes) qui réunit tous les grands créateurs de l'époque. L' « équipement » moderne se substitue à l'ornementation des salons décorés de « bibelots ». Il s'agit à présent de « désencombrer » l'espace intérieur.. A travers une quinzaine d'essais d'historiens de l'art, ce catalogue explore toutes les facettes de l'intérieur moderne en France dans les années 1920-1930 : son héritage des arts décoratifs, son articulation avec les avant-gardes internationales, tel que le Bauhaus ; sa dimension syncrétique impliquant toutes les dimensions de la création ; l'esthétique de la machine et les métaphores de la modernité tel que le paquebot ; la nature comme artifice décoratif. Trois créations architecturales majeures sont également analysées : la villa Noailles de Robert Mallet-Stevens, la Maison de Verre de Pierre Chareau et la villa E-1027 d'Eileen Gray. Enfin, entre design et mode, la mise en mouvement des corps redessine également une nouvelle figure de la femme moderne, aux avant-postes de la création. La transformation de l'espace intérieur trouvera également dans le cinéma un dispositif d'exposition et un outil de communication privilégié de ces changements de paradigme dans la perception de l'intérieur. Le catalogue qui explore une décennie de design met en avant la richesse de la collection du Musée national d'art moderne qui prête l'essentiel des œuvres et des objets de l'exposition.
