Résumé:
If we rarely think of walls as works of mesmerizing beauty, Erwin Hauer can hardly be blamed. "Erwin Hauer : Continua" resurrects the extraordinary but little-known work of this Austrian-born sculptor, whose designs of perforated and modular structures are symphonies of measured elegance. Built in Austria, Canada, Italy, Mexico, Holland, the Antilles, Venezuela, and the U.S., Hauer's architectural walls and screens caused a stir when they were erected in the 1950s, but have since been lost in time. This book gathers stunning photographs of these works, many of them now destroyed or no longer accessible. Hauer has exhibited widely in the United States and Europe and his sculptures can be found in many public and corporate collections, including those of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Chicago Art Institute, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Benson Sculpture Park in Loveland, and the Museum of the National Academy of Design.

Il permet de préciser le travail de l'artiste d'un point de vue structurel, sa recherche de lignes et de formes nouvelles, tout en le replaçant dans les préoccupations sociologiques qui l'ont toujours motivé. Ainsi est mise en lumière la sensibilité de cet architecte en matière de design, qui s'étend avec une rigueur et une qualité égales de l'urbanisme des grands projets au mobilier conçu pour les habiter, des fauteuils aux objets de verre, des poignées de porte aux luminaires.

Résumé:
"Industrial Strength Design: How Brooks Stevens Shaped Your World" is an introduction to the work of industrial designer Brooks Stevens (1911-1995). Believing that an industrial designer "should be a businessman, an engineer, and a stylist, in that order," Stevens created thousands of designs for industrial and household products--including a clothes dryer with a window in the front, a wide-mouthed peanut butter jar, and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. He invented a precursor to the SUV by turning a Jeep into a station wagon after World War II, and streamlined steam irons so that they resembled aircraft. This book, which accompanies an exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum, includes 250 illustrations of designs by Stevens and his firm, many in colour.
