Résumé:
Ouvrage collectif, sous la direction de Maurice Culot et Anne-Marie Pirlot. Privés de la commande des meubles de luxe (monopole de la France) et de la grande série (fief de l'Allemagne et de l'Autriche), les décorateurs belges modernistes de l'entre-deux-guerres se sont frayé une voie originale et expérimentale. Le livre évoque leur histoire au coeur d'une période d'intenses changements, marquée par la naissance des contreplaqués qui remédient aux effets dévastateurs du chauffage central sur le mobilier, l'engouement pour le bois malléable, l'apparition des meubles en tubes chromés, du mobilier à combinaisons, de l'éclairage indirect, le renouveau du tissage, du papier peint, des bibelots... C'est une véritable aventure artistique qui se dévoile au cours de ces pages abondamment illustrées, et rédigées par une équipe de spécialistes, à partir des collections exceptionnelles du Centre international pour la ville, l'architecture et le paysage, bientôt abritées par un nouveau musée de Bruxelles : le Kanal-Centre Pompidou.

Résumé:
"Suiza Constructiva" met en lumière l’une des manifestations les plus importantes de la création artistique en Suisse au cours du siècle dernier, l’art concret, dont la grande époque dura de 1920 à 1960. Bien qu’enraciné dans les avant-gardes européennes, l’art concret, qui tend au rationalisme dans la structure, à la rigueur formelle et à la perfection technique, devint avec les années l’incarnation même de l’art et de l’esthétique industrielle suisses. Bien plus qu’un style, il représente un mouvement intellectuel, une quête de formules universelles et de structures éthiquement fondées allant bien au delà des limites des arts plastiques. "Suiza Constructiva" présente la contribution suisse à l’art du 20ème siècle comme interaction de l’art et des domaines appliqués de l’esthétique, plaçant la peinture et la sculpture aux côtés de l’architecture, de la conception graphique, du design et de la photographie, pour révéler un chapitre unique en son genre de l’histoire de la culture sous un jour nouveau.

Résumé:
In 1900, Swedish design reformer and social theorist Ellen Key published The Century of the Child, presaging the coming century as a period of intensified focus and progressive thinking around the rights, development and well-being of children. Taking inspiration from Key-and looking back through the twentieth century-this volume, published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, examines individual and collective visions for the material world of children, from utopian dreams for the "citizens of the future" to the dark realities of political conflict and exploitation. Surveying more than 100 years of toys, clothing, playgrounds, schools, children's hospitals, nurseries, furniture, posters, animation and books, this illustrated catalogue illuminates how progressive design has enhanced the physical, intellectual, and emotional development of children and, conversely, how models of children's play have informed experimental aesthetics and imaginative design thinking-engendering, in the process, reappraisals of some of the iconic names in twentieth-century design and enriching the unfolding narrative of modern design with other, less familiar figures.

Résumé:
Modernity took many forms in 1930s Japan, but in the tumultuous years before militarism pushed the country toward global aggression, it was most visibly associated with a glittering consumer culture. Inundated with western jazz-age trends and new technologies, Japan’s big cities, especially Tokyo, offered the most enticing attractions to a newly liberated generation: bustling streets of department stores, cafés and teahouses, movie theaters and ballroom dance halls. Modern architecture, industrial design and fashion overshadowed traditional arts as Japan strove to take its place in a cosmopolitan world. The Brittle Years examines the different ways in which designers and artists visualized what it meant to be modern in Japan in the years leading up to World War II. Its 160 full-color illustrations of paintings, textiles and graphic arts are astonishing not only for their great visual impact but also for the insight they provide into a rapidly transforming nation.

Résumé:
Modernism dominated craft and design in Canada from the 1940's through the 1970's. At one time Canadian art museums encouraged industrial design and even The National Gallery of Canada presented several exhibitions meant to introduce the country to the work of Canadian designers and the modernist style. This publication outlines the modernist viewpoints held by Canada's most prominent designers and craft artists working in this period. Featured are dozens of pieces of furniture, ceramics, and household items that best illustrate modernist preoccupation with form, color, texture, experimentation, functionality, and honest use of materials. Items chosen reflect an interest in new materials and techniques and an awareness of contemporary trends in abstract art and Modern architecture. Accompanied by biographies of the leading designers of the time.
